Following the fatal injury of a labradoodle named Ollie in a boarding facility incident, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed into law 'Ollie's Law', requiring regulations for pet boarding facilities. This legislation aims to protect animals and provide owners with recourse.
The new law signed by Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey requires the Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for boarding animalsUntil now, the Bay State had no oversight for puppy day care and boarding facilities. The only requirement for anyone with more than four dogs was to obtain a kennel license.
"How we treat animals says something about who we are as a people and who we are as a community," Healey said Thursday."This is about protecting our four-legged friends out there, and until the signing of this law, we did not have that kind of regulation and protection in place. Now we do."
