"This year, House Bill 1499, An Act to Include Animals in Abuse Prevention Orders is pending in the Massachusetts legislature. 

The bill would specifically allow judges to include pets in temporary restraining orders. Currently is it awaiting its fate in the legislature’s busy Judiciary Committee and it only has until March 17th for its fate to be determined (if not sooner). Action is needed now if this bill is to have a chance of passing this session. This bill would not cost the state any money; it simply allows the court to order custody or require the defendant to stay away from and/or not abuse a pet while the order is in effect."
