Restrictions on pets differ by municipality

By

Recently I heard of someone that was fined because she owned 6 very loved and cared for dogs in Dekalb County. Evidently, there is an ordinance in Dekalb that allows only 3 dogs per household. You might say that 6 dogs is a lot anyway but there are many people that don't know the county ordinances on pets restrictions.  In Gwinnett for instance, it is illegal to tie up a dog even if the owner stays with the pet. In Cobb the leash law applies to dogs and cats. There are also additional laws in place by City as well. If you are an animal lover Know your County and City ordinances on pet laws before you purchase a home in that area.  I have 2 dogs a 14 year old Bichon and a 4 month old Shih Tzu a cat and a bird. I love where I live and work and I couldn't image having to give up any of my animals

I live in AZ and the same thing just happened to me.I have been looking on the computer for the restrictions but so far I have not found them.My dogs are all small .I think it should go by size instead of amount. Bea
