Tennessee, California, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan and Massachusetts Lead the Reform Effort
In 2015, Tennessee made history by passing the first such law of its kind in the nation, HSUS President Wayne Pacelle explained. Since then the states of Florida and Wisconsin have come on board. A similar bill has just landed on the Ohio governors desk, Michigan and Massachusetts are considering bills allowing the rescue of dogs from hot cars, and there is a bill in California that is moving ahead with strong bipartisan support. Virginia just passed a new law in 2016 giving civil immunity to first responders.

Obvious to me and I would do that, of course. Still, very good advice. Thank you, rjsquirrel. nt

I've called 911, in a "progressive community", and was treated like a crazy meddler.
