🐾 DR. AIMEE WANTS EVERY ALABAMA DOG OWNER TO KNOW ABOUT BEAU’S LAW. 🐾
As a veterinarian, I believe every dog deserves the basics: food, clean water, proper shelter and a safe place to live. ❤️
As of October 1, Beau’s Law is now in effect across Alabama.
The new law establishes standards for dogs kept outside, including:
🐶 Continuous access to adequate food and clean water
🏠 Proper shelter from heat, cold and wet weather
🌳 Shade when needed
🐾 Enough room to stand, turn around, lie down and stretch
⛓️ Safer requirements for dogs that are tethered or chained
🚫 No choke or pinch collars for tethering
🚫 No heavy logging chains
Beau’s Law was inspired by Beau, a dog found outside in freezing conditions with little more than cardboard for shelter. His story helped bring attention to the need for clearer protections for Alabama dogs. 🐾❤️
Please SHARE THIS POST. Education matters, and there may be someone on your friends list who simply doesn’t know that Alabama’s laws have changed.
