HELP OUR PETS FROM BEING LEFT OUT IN THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES

ADOPT THE SAME LAW AS LUZERNE COUNTY PA , SEE BELOW

The effect of cold weather on a dog can be devastating.

“Sometimes it shows on their paw pads or in their nose, they get cracked and can be incredibly painful and it opens them up to infections,” said Charlotte Maciejewski, a manager at PetSmart.

Now, Luzerne County wants to protect man's best friend. Luzerne County Council passed an ordinance prohibiting dogs from being outside when the temperature drops below 26 degrees or above 92 degrees for more than a half hour.

“They shouldn't be left outside and left alone and that's good they're passing a law that changes that,” said Jayme Galdieri of West Pittston.

The new law is not intended for people walking their dog, only dog owners who leave their furry friends outside unattended for too long. If that happens, owners could be slapped with a fine or the SPCA could even take away their dog.
