i see what ya'll are sayin. unfortinatly we don't have a dog ordinance here. it is a problem, but i don't think it would do any good. i honestly don't think the dog ordinance that my friend ia dealing with is pretty much a waist too. animal control/police around here don't enforce things like this. i'd personally be more open to it and be more than happy to pay if it was worth my time and money. i agree that it does help shelters with their expenses, but i donate A LOT to animal control in the next town and been take dogs from them from time to time. i'd love to help the shelter here, but they don't accept donations and what not. they flat out told me they did not want my help with anything. not even fostering.
