Under the new rules, which begin July 1st of next year, no pet can be tied up for more than four hours in a 24-hour period.
The following rules will also apply:
- Owners cannot chain a companion animal when the temperature is below 32 degrees.
- A pet under 4 months old will not be allowed to be chained.
- Owners cannot tie up a sick or injured animal.
- Also, animals left outside for the allotted four hours per day will have to be on runners or chains attached to swivel hooks.
The Danville Area Humane Society has committed $10,000 to help people purchase chain link lots for their dogs. A requirement will be that the Humane Society will also be allowed to spay/neuter the dog.
