Resident asks Brecknock board to back "Code Red/Code Blue" pet-weather enforcement
Summary
Resident Katerina Djurkinjak asked the board to consider enforcing Code Red/Code Blue pet-weather standards after observing a dog kept outdoors on a short leash; Chief of Police Erik Grunzig requested more information and the resident agreed to provide it for consideration.
At the Dec. 19 meeting, Brecknock Township resident Katerina Djurkinjak asked supervisors to consider enforcing and supporting "Code Red & Code Blue," standards intended to protect pets in extreme weather. Djurkinjak said she was concerned about a dog in the township kept outdoors on a short leash and exposed to the elements; she said the Animal Rescue League has a program but advised her to seek township support.
Chief of Police Erik Grunzig asked for additional details about the program and who would be responsible for enforcement and determinations in such cases. Djurkinjak agreed to send the supervisors information for their consideration. The minutes note an anecdote from Supervisor Jason Coyle that ARL has conducted investigations in the township within the past two years and that police can be called to document suspected animal cruelty.
