ANIMAL CRUELTY & UNATTENDED ANIMALS IN VEHICLES

Animals should not be left, outside or in unattended in vehicles, during cold weather when lethal temperatures can occur in minutes. The Joliet Police Department actively enforces state law & city ordinance regarding animal cruelty.

Illinois Law states:
•No owner of a dog or cat that is a companion animal may expose the dog or cat in a manner that places the dog or cat in a life-threatening situation for a prolonged period of time in extreme cold conditions that:
(1) results in injury to or death of the animal; or
(2) results in hypothermia, hyperthermia, frostbite, or similar condition as diagnosed by a doctor of veterinary medicine.

City of Joliet, Ordinance 6-6 states:
•No person shall expose an animal to extreme cold weather conditions wherein the health of the animal is endangered, including, but not limited to, showing signs of hypothermia, hyperthermia, frostbite, or similar conditions.
•No person shall confine an animal in a vehicle in such a manner that places it in a life or health threatening situation by exposure to a prolonged period of extreme cold, without proper protection from such cold, without proper protection from such cold. An animal's health, safety, or welfare is endangered when the animal is confined in a parked/standing vehicle for 5(+) minutes when ambient outside air temperature measures below 35° F.

City of Joliet Ordinance 6-8 states no person shall:
No person shall be cruel to any animal in any of the following ways:
•The exposure of an animal to extreme cold weather conditions wherein the health of the animal is endangered, including, but not limited to, showing signs of hypothermia, hyperthermia, frostbite, or similar conditions.

In order to protect the health & safety of an animal, an Animal Control Officer or Law Enforcement Officer, who has probable cause to believe that this section is being violated shall have authority to enter such motor vehicle or property by ANY reasonable means under the circumstances after making a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other person responsible.

Based on all circumstances, the minimum penalty for violating the city ordinance is a $300 citation, up to the animal owner being arrested. The animal can also potentially be temporarily or permanently seized by the Joliet Police Department and Joliet Township Animal Control. The Joliet Police Animal Crimes Team encourages the community to ACT if they see something and to call 9-1-1 to report suspected animal abuse.

Hello! It’s Truffles!

I was wondering if you might be able to help me and my shelter buddies out? We are in need of a few supplies!

My dog friends are in need of small bites dog food (any brand) and us cats are in need of clumping cat litter (any brand).

The humans also said we are running low on towels, especially bath sized towels.

Thank you so much for supporting me and my shelter buddies!
