2020 Virginia Law Prohibits Keeping Dogs Tethered During Certain Weather Conditions

A new Virginia law prohibits keeping dogs tethered during certain weather conditions. Since 2016, PETA has worked closely with legislators, testifying in behalf of dogs kept tethered and vigorously lobbying for bills to protect them from cruelty and neglect. While we wish all dogs lived indoors with loving families, this law will help protect those forced to live outside.
