New York S06380 prohibits inhumane tethering of dogs outdoors, including during dangerous weather, and sets civil penalties for violations.

New York S06380 amends the agriculture and markets law to prohibit inhumane tethering of dogs outdoors, including during dangerous weather conditions. The bill outlines specific conditions under which tethering is allowed, such as when the dog is at least six months old, not nursing or pregnant, and not suffering from illness or injury. Tethering is not allowed between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The bill also mandates that dogs must have access to shade, food, water, shelter, and dry ground, and be free from conditions that would constitute inhumane tethering.
