thank you. can you legally CHAIN animals? its not a leash its a chain. and do the officers ever offer to take the animal to an adoption center so it can have a better life? i can make arrangements for A new leash on life to take the animal if they would be willing to ...

I looked at the animal ordinances just last week. I'm remembering that you can chain the animal as long as it has enough room to move about... Will see if I can find the actual reference for you.

Here it is:
http://www.hsvcity.com/animal/ORD99-1036.doc

"Sec. 5-36. Chaining of Dogs or Cats.

Animals shall not be tied or chained in a manner that presents a hazard to themselves or to the general public."

Thats completely inhumane. Regardless i dont think the dog is in good health

Thank you for your concern. An Officer has been assigned to investigate this matter and has made his initial report. We appreciate your concern for the canine.
