West Virginia SB867 strengthens shelter requirements for dogs exposed to extreme weather.
West Virginia SB867 amends the state code to strengthen the definition of shelter for dogs exposed to extreme weather. It mandates that shelters for tethered or roaming free dogs must be four-sided structures with a roof, providing at least 100 square feet of floor space. The shelters must be moisture-proof, windproof, ventilated, and made of solid, durable material with a raised, moisture-proof floor. Suitable bedding material, such as hay or straw, must be provided.
