Before October 2013, it was legal to chain a dog in Arlington County outside for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But thanks to efforts by local animal advocates, led by HT Executive Director Sue Bell, dogs can no longer be chained for more than three hours in a 24 hour period. “This is a tremendous statement to animal owners out there that Arlington will not tolerate chaining and neglect of dogs,” says Bell. “We applaud the County for passing the measure, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for supporting it and enforcing it and our many animal advocates who helped get this through. It’s a good day for dogs in Arlington!”

Scrappy Hi, I’m Scrappy! I am originally from Tazwell County. I am very fun and excitable. I love to be outside and playing. Rope toys and squeaky toys are my favorite things in the entire world. I am very excited when I meet new people and my goal is to try to jump up and kiss their face, no matter how tall they are. I am not the tallest, so trying to kiss faces is sometimes challenging, but I usually succeed. I would love a home where I can be active and go on adventures! Can you give me a forever home?
