puppy mills

Bars and restaurants that have patios statewide have been welcoming canines and their human friends to sit down to have dinner and drinks in those outdoor spaces finding themselves in a quandary. That’s because those dog owners, rescue groups, and businesses are at odds with health departments over a current state law that prohibits dogs on patios of businesses that serve food and drinks. Now there’s a movement…..and legislation…..that seeks to change that.

Opponents of a bill that would ban local restrictions on pet stores say state lawmakers shouldn’t pass that legislation.

The Ohio Senate is debating what to do with an amendment about local control over pet sales that’s attached to a tax bill.
