On Wednesday, the City of Pembroke Pines became the 11th city* in Broward County to enact an ordinance banning or restricting the chaining/tethering of dogs. The ordinance, among other provisions, makes it unlawful to tether a dog outdoors unless a guardian is outside along with the dog. ARFF representatives spoke in support of the ordinance at commission meetings.
