Winter weather brings reminder of outdoor pet safety, Beau’s Law requirements

CULLMAN, Ala. – As colder temperatures make their way into north Alabama, pet owners are encouraged to take precautions to ensure animals kept outdoors have adequate shelter, warmth and protection from winter weather. With Alabama’s new Beau’s Law now in effect, providing proper care for outdoor dogs is not only a matter of responsible pet ownership but also a legal requirement. Beau’s Law, which took effect Oct. 1, 2026, establishes statewide standards for dogs kept outdoors, including requirements for shelter, food, water and tethering. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Garlan Gudger, R-Cullman, was inspired by a dog named Beau who gained statewide attention after being found chained outside during a snowstorm without adequate protection from the elements. Under the law, outdoor dogs must have access to shelter that protects them from rain, wind, snow and extreme temperatures. Shelters must be constructed from durable materials and include a solid floor, walls, a roof and an appropriate entrance that allows the animal to enter and exit freely. The structure must also be large enough for the dog to stand, turn around, lie down naturally and extend its limbs comfortably. Adequate ventilation, shade and protection from accumulated moisture are also required. While a

Cullman graduate Paul Callan helps redesign schools he once attended

CULLMAN, Ala. – Architect Paul Callan is helping redesign some of the same school buildings where he once attended classes, including the space where he studied drafting at Cullman High School. Callan, a 1989 Cullman High graduate, is a senior project manager at Hoover-based Lathan McKee Architects. His work with Cullman City Schools includes renovations at Cullman Middle School, the new Cullman Intermediate School at the former West Elementary campus and the STEM and Career Tech Center at Cullman High. Callan attended East Elementary and Cullman Middle School before graduating from Cullman High and earning an architecture degree from Auburn University. His return to the district began when Superintendent Kyle Kallhoff and the school board selected his firm to work on the Cullman Middle School renovation. “It was a school I had attended many years before, and it was virtually unchanged from the classrooms where I was taught, the locker-lined hallways I had roamed and the gymnasium where I had played,” Callan said. A campus tour brought back memories but also revealed the need to update the facilities. The project replaced outdated spaces and added classrooms and other amenities while working within the existing campus. Callan said his experience on

Planning Commission tables new 7 Brew site plan

CULLMAN, Ala. – The City of Cullman Planning Commission in August approved a short-form subdivision request for Murphy Oil USA. Back in May, the proposed site plan was approved, with contingencies from the city engineer relating to the Alabama Department of Transportation traffic and safety plan. At the Commission’s meeting on Monday, Nov. 2, an additional proposal for the site plan was discussed that would add a 7 Brew Coffee to the project at 800 Second Ave. NW. Two representatives from Brew Culture, LLC, 7 Brew Coffee’s corporate entity, addressed the Commission in an attempt to allay concerns about safety at the proposed new location. Commissioners said the area sees high traffic for numerous reasons, particularly, according to Commissioner Cheryl Harrison, because of nearby schools. She said the new location would add on to existing traffic congestion from school drop-off and pick-up times. Chairman Michael Sullins noted that while the project’s previous ALDOT contingencies were resolved, further resolution may be needed due to community safety concerns. Ultimately, the item was tabled until the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2026. The Commission did approve a site plan for an expansion at 1206 Sixth St. SW, located within Industrial Park 2.
