Dog Shelter Bill

State Sen. Jon Lundberg (R-Bristol) has introduced legislation to expand the state’s animal cruelty laws concerning dogs. Lundberg’s bill would create standards for shelter that must be provided to dogs. Under the bill, anyone with a dog in their custody would be required to provide shelter in a structure that “must be four sided and ventilated with an entrance on one side, a roof, and a solid floor that is in good repair and allows the dog to remain reasonably dry and maintain normal body temperature.”
