I checked with animal control on the law and was told that it's illegal to tether a dog for more than 3 hours at a time. All they do is work with the owner on giving the dog extra feet to walk. She said hopefully this would be 12 or 18 feet but the law does not specify number of feet. I said so 10 feet would be acceptable and she said probably.. I sent them several years ago to check on a large dog in a similar situation and all that resulted was that the dog was attached to a pulley system giving him 10 feet or so. I don't want to send animal control out there. I'd like to see the dog get out of there, not just have a few extra feet. I can't have a dog - I was wondering if you knew of anyone who would take him if I was able to get him. I would ask the owners if they would like to give him to me. I have contacted various people and organizations without results.
