New bill on taking care of outside dogs heading to Gov. Abbott's desk

Jordan Foster - 5h ago

After being vetoed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year, Senate Bill 5, also known as the safe outdoors act, is heading back to his desk.

“It’s cleaning up a section of the current Texas health and safety code to make it more clear what pet owners need to do in order to keep their dog safe when they are restrained outdoors, unattended,” Director of Government Relations for the Texas Humane Legislation Network Stacy Sutton Kirby said.

Kirby says for years they’ve been pushing for stricter laws when it comes to pet shelter and safety.

“Under the part that defines how you can restrain a dog unattended outdoors, there wasn’t a provision that defined adequate shelter,” Kirby said.

She says there also wasn’t a requirement to give a dog access to drinkable water. Once the bill is signed into law, things will change.

Doggie Care 101 ... For those that don't know the basics of caring for a dog, shouldn't own one.

So, a few words on a piece of paper and a couple of scribbled signatures will make it all go away..... liberal logic..

Abbott better veto it once again.
