A local animal rights activist is the driving force behind bills that would set standards for animal shelters, whether it’s a dog house in someone’s back yard or an institutional shelter housing multiple animals.
Debbie Darino, a Port Orange resident who led the fight for Ponce’s Law, said she is working to get the bill passed because she has seen far too many dogs kept in terrible conditions.
“So many people have no idea what basically a dog house is and they have their animals in all these confinements that are just cruel some of them, some of them they just made them themselves or whatever,” Darino said. “So I made a definition of what that should be, so that we have something to go by.”
