It goes without saying that with the dog days of August bearing down upon us, this is good news for Florida’s pet population.
First-time violators of the tethering and shelter laws face a $100 fine. A second offense carries a $250 fine and a third offense is $500. Depending on the severity of the violation, criminal charges are possible.
awesome
Fantastic news!!
nice to see Florida doing something positive for a change 🙂
Now we need to “spread the love” to our local communities.
Its sad to think that many of these dogs will wind up in a shelter because their owners will not build a fence. Maybe if they are lucky they will find new homes…
Not before time. At least it’s a step in the right direction – tho I’d rather it was a gallop!
Great news, but I wish this was mandatory in all states and not just by counties.
