🚨 EXTREME COLD WEATHER & PET SAFETY 🚨

As temperatures drop to dangerous levels, pet owners are reminded that Pennsylvania law requires animals to be provided with proper care, shelter, and protection from the elements.

Under 18 Pa.C.S. § 5532 (Cruelty to Animals) and Libre’s Law, it is illegal to:
• Leave animals outside without adequate shelter from extreme cold
• Fail to provide necessary warmth, food, and water
• Expose animals to weather conditions that pose a risk to their health or safety

⚠️ This is not optional. This is the law.

📢 Be advised:
Our officers will NOT issue warnings for violations related to animal neglect during extreme cold weather.
➡️ If you are found in violation, an ARREST WILL BE MADE.

If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pet. Bring them inside or ensure they have proper, lawful shelter immediately.

🐾 If you see an animal in distress due to cold weather, please report it to our department.

Protect your pets. Protect your neighbors’ pets. Lives depend on it.
