We asked the Town of Mooers and their town supervisor Jeff Menard multiple times to create a Dog Tethering Law. The Mooers town board does not see a need for a law. If you drive through Mooers on any given day, you will see dogs chained outside 24/7.
I started this fight because of a dog in Mooers that spent 11.5 years of its life on a chain. Legislator Calvin Castine voted the Dog Tethering Law down at the county level, claiming he cannot force Mooers to follow a law they do not want. Jeff Menard the Mooers town supervisor is up for election in 2026.
Update: Mid-August 2025 I spoke to a Mooers council member and he indicated they are not against a dog tethering law. He indicated they would have followed the county law if the county had approved one.
