New law governing kennels named after dog mauled in East Longmeadow

EAST LONGMEADOW — Owners of kennels and overnight boarding centers for dogs are facing new animal safety regulations. It comes four years after a puppy named Ollie was mauled and killed by other dogs at Pampered Pets Doggy Day Care and Spa in East Longmeadow. The business closed after the attack.

For years, Amy Baxter, Ollie’s owner, pushed for “Ollie’s Law.” Late last month, Gov. Maura T. Healey signed the bill into law.
