I know in California they definitely do random checks. When I lived with my mom they did them a few times a year. (Monrovia, which isn't that far from Covina). My mom only had one dog and one time she forgot to renew the license, they gave her 30 days to renew it or pay a fine. They would always come to the door, peek over fences, etc... I don't know where they find the time or the funds, but they do. Even in the Palm Springs area I have seen them do it. Sometimes at the dog park they check your animals. (Our dog park has rules that you must be UTD on shots and be licensed, but of course people do come without.) |
