All animals deserve caring and humane treatment by their owners. Both local and state laws help to ensure animals are handled humanely. Strict regulations apply to situations such as:

• The provision of adequate food and water for any animal;
• Adequate shelter to protect from the extremes of weather;
• Sanitary conditions to protect the animal's health;
• Treating the animal in a manner which does not subject it to pain, suffering or death;
• And, not confining the animal in a motor vehicle during times of extreme heat or cold.

Other regulations apply. If you witness or suspect any inhumane treatment, please do not hesitate to report it immediately.
