Bibb County, GA – The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to take extra precautions as cold weather moves into the region this week. In a social media post, the department’s “Bondable Pups,” Rowan and Robin, urged pet owners to bring their animals indoors or ensure they have a warm doghouse during the cold nights ahead.
According to the National Weather Service, overnight lows across central Georgia are expected to dip into the 30s, with wind chills making it feel even colder. Officials say exposure to frigid conditions can quickly become dangerous for pets without adequate shelter.
The sheriff’s office emphasized that Georgia law requires animals to have access to proper shelter, food, and water, even in cold conditions. Residents are encouraged to check on neighbors and outdoor pets to ensure everyone remains safe as temperatures fall.
Meteorologists say the cold spell is expected to last several nights before temperatures begin to warm slightly later in the week.
Residents can monitor weather updates through the National Weather Service or local emergency alerts.
