Bring Your Pets Inside


Under the new law, pet owners can face fines of $100 to $200 per incident if they're caught leaving their animals unattended in adverse weather for more than 30 minutes at a time. (Below freezing or over 90deg.)
The law requires pet owners to evacuate their animals during declared weather emergencies and permits local governments or humane societies to take custody of an animal owned by a repeat offender.
 It also prohibits other methods of "cruelly restraining" animals, including chaining up puppies and nursing mothers, leaving them outdoors unsheltered overnight or tying them up at abandoned properties, among other conditions.
