In the city I live in they limit the animals - Ordinance allows a total of six cats and dogs, not more than three of which may be dogs, per household.
This just changed a couple years ago, because I think they used to say only 3 dogs and 3 cats. I'm not breaking any oridances - although I'd like to

- I'd have a houseful if I had more time and money.
The one thing that is really odd, but i'm not telling the city - I adopted my 2 yorkies when they were a 1 1/2 - about the same exact time of yr licenses have to be paid by. I adopted them from someone who lived in a suburb that does not require licenses so I was thrilled I got off without paying a license fee because the city didn't know I had them. But I figured the next year, they will get the vet report and know the yorkies are here & I'll get billed just like i do for the cats. Well, never once have I received anything from the city to pay for a license for the yorkies. I said something at my vet office the last time I was there, they didn't have an explanation and said they have sent my info in just like everyone else. So it's money saved
