Please do not keep your dog tied outside. A tethered dog is trapped and vulnerable and may develop defensive and dangerous territorial habits. Many states have laws prohibiting you from keeping your dog tethered outside. Learn more at http:\/\/dogsdeservebetter.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Laws that, when effectively enforced, have the best chance to make our communities safer include those that prohibit tethering and animal fighting and support licensing, leashing, spaying and neutering and require all owners to control their dogs, regardless of breed.
