Hi Kelley,
Maybe you should inquire with them if they have a back up plan if the city
does try to inforce thier pet limit law, like what are they going to do with
the animals. The only thing I think of is that you wouldnt want to place an
animal in a home and maybe that animal is the breaking point for a neighbor,
plus people are very fickle (we are not allowed to park in our driveway, we
live in a city, because a neighbor complained and called the city and our
drive way is not up to code because it doesnt have a cut out at the front of
the drive..go figure!) but at the same time we are over our limit of
animals and luckily nobody has complained (cross my fingers!) It is a fine
line as you want to place the animal in the best home possible and they may
be it, but at the same time you wouldnt want anything to happen to that
animal, and also you wouldnt want the shelter to get in trouble for knowing
that person was over thier limit and still placed an animal in thier home.
good luck
Jeni

Hey Kelley,
Well, I am definitely in violation of city
codes...lol. So I have no judgement to make. I just
didn't know if there were certain written or
un-written rules that shelters follow when it comes to
that particular issue. The contract does ask how many
animals live in the home, so I know it's a factor.
I'll be interested to hear what the shelter owner
decides to do. She's in Austin too.
How's Joey doing today?
:)
