Texas House Bill 2063 was filed by State Rep. James Talarico in response to the 2021 fire at the Ponderosa Pet Resort in Georgetown. 75 dogs died in the fire.
. HB 2063 requires kennels to disclose to pet owners if a dog or cat will be left unattended or left in a facility that does not have a fire sprinkler system.
Talarico's office says that after the fire, dog lovers and community advocates organized a petition that garnered over 17,000 signatures from across the U.S. calling for legislative solutions to keep dogs in kennels safe. "The fire in Georgetown was absolutely gut-wrenching. My heart goes out to the families that lost their loving companions," said Talarico in a release. "After the fire, our community rallied together and called for action. Our legislation will ensure accidents like this never happen again in Texas."Many people have advocated for changes to Georgetown's fire code after 75 dogs perished in a fire at the Ponderosa Pet Resort last year.
