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

Pet of the Week: Nupert is ready to keep your lap warm

CULLMAN, Ala. – A comfortable seat is even better with someone to share it, and Nupert is happy to volunteer. This large, affectionate cat will settle across your lap like a cozy quilt, ready for some time together. Nupert, The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week, is an approximately 4-year-old tuxedo cat available for adoption at the Cullman County Animal Shelter. This sweet boy loves to snuggle and would rather be close to his person than anywhere else. Toys are a big part of Nupert’s day, too. He enjoys playtime, but companionship is what he seeks most. For someone who likes a cat to keep them company while they read, watch television or simply unwind, Nupert could be a loving match. His adoption fee is $35 because he is already neutered. The reduced fee reflects that completed procedure, not the value of the companionship he has to offer. His adoption fee includes vaccinations and microchipping. To learn more about Nupert or meet him, visit the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 935 Convent Road NE. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Contact the shelter at 256-734-5448 or cullmananimalshelter@co.cullman.al.us . Has Nupert already been adopted? Don’t worry!
