Neighbors, I have been very disappointed to see (more appropriately, hear) several of you leave your dogs outside unattended on these coldest days and nights of winter. It is below freezing out there and your beloved pets deserve your attention, especially when it cries out in the only way it can, by barking incessantly. This is a nuisance at any time of day (or year) but is especially concerning late at night. Please be mindful of your pets safety and your neighbors sanity. If your not willing to brave the cold with your animal, don't leave it out. Sent from my iPhone
I just worked with Councilwoman Darlene Harris on implementing legislation for anti-tethering as well as severe weather and leaving dogs in those situations. Neighbors please it is now the law if you see a dog for what seems to be longer than necessary in this kind of extreme weather please call animal control or 911. Is became the law on December 17, 2014. Neighbors if you see it please report it! Animal Control can be reached between the hours of 7 AM and 3 PM at 412-255-2036 and from the hours of 3 PM until 11 PM they can be reached at 412 255-2935. Please add those phone numbers to your contacts you may need them. Thanks all!! Mary Kennedy Withrow Community Outreach Coordinator Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center Sent by my iPhone
