Regional Drought Watch Issued
The City of Rockville is asking residents and businesses to conserve water under a regional drought watch issued Wednesday, June 3 by the Drought Coordination Committee of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Click here for more information.
Excessive heat, high humidity, and powerful thunderstorms can be hazardous and even deadly for dogs left unattended outdoors too long, housed in dog houses or outdoor enclosures that are insufficient for proper protection, or left in vehicles for even a few minutes.
Keep dogs safe outdoors by following these regulations and safety tips:
Dog houses must provide sufficient shelter and protection from inclement weather and wind, be of a solid construction with no metal interior surfaces and elevated from the ground at least two inches, have a protected entrance, proper ventilation, appropriate bedding materials, and be the correct size for a dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
Any dog confined within an outdoor enclosure/pen must have adequate space for exercise. Larger dogs must have additional square feet. The area must be maintained in a sanitary condition and be free from debris or stored material.
Clean, potable water shall be available at all times to all animals.
During a heat or cold emergency alert or excessive heat warning, outdoor housing measures must be taken to provide adequate cooling for dogs.
Heat exhaustion can be prevented by keeping pets indoors, in shaded areas, and providing them with plenty of water.
During a storm, pets must either be brought indoors or have adequate shelter to protect them from the elements. For their safety, pets should always wear collars with ID tags in case they become lost or run away.
Montgomery County Codes, specifically sections 05.201.01.01 through 05.201.01.04, reflect the provisions of Maryland anti-cruelty laws concerning animals. These codes concern the regulations for the tethering, transport, and shelter/protection from weather for dogs, as well as the extreme weather emergency regulations in which pets may not be left unattended outdoors. Animal control and anti-cruelty laws in Montgomery County also regulate pet ownership and public nuisance concerns. Hot Dogs Education provides resources to teach how to prevent heatstroke in pets. Additionally, Montgomery County Animal Services provides guidance for pet safety in vehicles and during extreme weather conditions.
