Anti- tethering law

On September 4Th the new anti- tethering law will take place. No longer will any one in Fulton county be able to tether their dog. This is going to be super hard to police, so we need all the help in the world telling people its not okay any more! I know all rescuers have been saying this for years but no one had listened. Now the law is agreeing with you! yay!

The law is written that no dog can be tethered out side on on any chain, rope, tie out, trolley system etc unless the owner is right there.

This is going to go one of three ways-
one: no one will comply and state they did not know and there will be way way to many for us to police.
Two: Reuses, Dogs Deserve Better, vets, and more help us spread the word and help people learn to bring their dogs in, house train, and walk on leash. People get together and builds fences, educate, help and understands each others points of view. This keeps dogs in homes and maybe even gets them neutered!
Three: The general population freaks out and I have a line a mile long of people surrendering their dogs because they are scared of fines, and don't know how to keep their dogs now that they can't live on a chain. This kind of dog is not social, frustrated and NOT easy to adopt.

So here is the plan.

• PR! We will ask the press to push this until people are sick of hearing about it-TV, Print, Radio
• flyer's, door knockers, posters EVERY WHERE!
• web site info- packed with help on building fences, You tube videos on house training, leash walking, and more.
• We have free spay neuter program- this will help more people use it!
• Free training- we have a dog trainer here every day in August!

There is much more to this plan but this is what I need help with now.

What we need is a street team to be friendly and sweet. Pass out flyer's, invite people to training class, help get dogs spayed and neutered and let me know who you know in the media! This is a good thing and with everyone helping we can do awesome stuff with it.
