HB 4777 establishes liability rules for kennels, animal shelters, and pet boarding facilities when domestic animals in their care are lost, injured, or die. It outlines different liability standards for for-profit kennels, nonprofit kennels, and government-operated shelters. The bill also allows pet owners to seek damages for mental anguish, veterinary expenses, and loss of companionship.
