Animal management reminds residents to keep pets inside
GREENFIELD – Greenfield-Hancock Animal Management recently posted a reminder on social media that pet owners are to keep close watch on animals let outside and in general, to keep them indoors if temperatures dip below 20 degrees.
Animals let outside must be monitored by an adult and returned inside as soon as possible. There are certain breeds of dogs that enjoy being outside in cold temperatures, such as those with double-coats and working dogs; those dogs are able to spend time outdoors but must have access to shelter and water.
The department encourages residents to use their best discretion before calling in about an animal that may have been left outdoors, asking themselves if there is adequate shelter outdoors; if there’s a doggie door available to move freely in and out of; or if there is a person outside with the dog. For questions, call (317) 477-4367.
