‘The dogs had burnt paws’: How climate change is impacting dogs on reservations

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, animal shelters have been at capacity nationwide but especially on reservations that have underfunded infrastructure. Now climate-driven heat waves and wildfires are adding another layer of problems for reservation dogs.

Wyoming Public Radio’s Hanna Merzbach sat down with Taylar Stagner to talk about her reporting on reservation dogs. Stagner is based in Riverton, Utah, and now reports on tribal affairs for Grist, a climate-focused publication.

“Especially with these wildfires, extreme weather, it’s going to make some of our most vulnerable people, but also animals, it’s going to make it worse for everyone,” Stagnar said.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
