Does your city have a limit on the number of dogs/cats you may own?

I looked online and there is no limit, or should I say it doesn't state any limits. It may have changed, they say to call to make sure.

I honestly have no idea! I'll go see if I can find out...

Where I looked doesn't say anything about limits...

Where I live you can have 2 dogs, and as many cats as you want.

Wisconsin has a limit of 4 dogs. I don't know about cats in WI, but in our city cats must be licensed if they are outdoors at any time.

The city limit is I think 3 dogs, no limit on cats, luckily I live just outside the city limits so I can keep my 4

This is what my city's site said:
No more than 3 pet animals are permitted on a single premise within the city. Animals include dogs, cats, rabbits, or other animals, excluding tropical fish or exotic fish, but including birds maintained outside the living area of the residential structure. No keeping of poultry, domestic fowl, pigs, hogs, or livestock shall be permitted within the city limits.

I however live well outside the city and there are no limitations as to how many pets are keep here.

4 dogs is the maximum in my town. I don't know about cats.

I just asked my father this question, and he says... "uhhhhhh.... 2 dogs, and 2 cats".

We have our Bijou, and three cats. Out of curiosity, I recently looked online to review the city ordinances/codes regarding pet ownership where we live and discovered the following:

"Number of Dogs and Cats Limited. In order to protect the public health and public sanitation, no more than two dogs and two cats or three animals (three dogs or three cats) of any one of the two species, shall be kept in or upon one residential unit or by one or more persons constituting one residential unit, unless the premises be licensed as a kennel."

So -- am I being noncompliant by having one dog and three cats? Aaaaaack!

What does your city specify (or does it?)?

I'm not sure what our city specification is. I'll have to look.

However, I do believe YOU are in compliance with the code. It says 'three animals' in the code. Just because it gives an example of three dogs or three cats doesn't mean you can't mix or match. One dog and two cats like you have, or two dogs and one cat.

I wouldn't worry.

limit here is 3 dogs...i dont know if there is a limit on cats
obviously i dont follow that rule LOL
but the limitation is not enforced at all.
the AC knows we have 7 dogs, the only thing he has said is "you know you're only allowed 3 dogs right" but he's never told us to rehome 4 or anything like that lol. my neighbor has 5 dogs too.

[lv4dogs]

In my town you're allowed 3 dogs and unlimited cats. You can have more than 4 dogs if you get a permit.

umm one of my friends told me that you can only have 3 dogs. but i dont think thats fair. some ppl take wonderful care of there dogs (and have more than three) and have a big enough house for them. i dont know if it is even true though.
