Connecticut State Residents:
NO PETS ARE TO BE LEFT OUTSIDE, TETHERED OR OTHERWISE. THIS ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 8AM ON TUESDAY, 07/19/22 THROUGH 8PM ON SUNDAY, 07/24/22
Please read and familiarize yourself with Ct. state statute 22-350(b) ;
"(b) No person shall tether a dog outdoors to a stationary object or to a mobile device, including, but not limited to, a trolley or a pulley, when a weather advisory or warning is issued by local, state or federal authorities or when outdoor environmental conditions, including, but not limited to, extreme heat, cold, wind, rain, snow or hail, pose an adverse risk to the health or safety of such dog based on such dog's breed, age or physical condition, unless tethering is for a duration of not longer than fifteen minutes."
