McDONOUGH — Henry County has instituted a new ordinance prohibiting residents from chaining or tying up their dogs to a stationary object such as a tree, vehicle or house.

The county’s code of ordinances did not previously address tethering. Board of Commissioners Chair Carlotta Harrell said the change came about as a result of complaints and videos submitted by residents of dogs with chains wrapped around their necks and chained to trees.
