Change/Get rid of/Amend the pet ordinance
Final supporters
My husband and I had 5 dogs. 4 beagles and a lab. We gave the lab back to its original owner when we found out about the city ordinance. We wanted to try and at least keep the 4 beagles. We didn't want to get rid of any of our dogs, but 2 of the beagles we have, we have had for a few years. The other 2 we have are puppies from our oldest beagle, Holly's litter. We have had them since they were born. The one we chose to drive to Texas to stay with my in laws until we can get him back, we chose to keep because he reminds us of a beagle we lost a few years ago. All of our dogs mean a lot to us but he was particularly special for that reason. We ended up choosing him because of his temperament and he would be the one that "does the best" away from us.
We own our home. It is plenty big enough for 4 small beagles to live in. We have a fenced in backyard (privacy fence) big enough for them to run around and play in. Beagles aren't big dogs. Our dogs are loved very much and very well taken care of. We want to be able to bring our 4th beagle back home. The city over stepped the boundaries by coming to our home unannounced while we weren't home and looking through our windows and over our privacy fence in to our backyard. They can invade our privacy and trespass on our property but we cant have 4 beagles?
I am writing this petition with the hope we can not only get our beagle back, but also so we can change the ordinance and hopefully keep from the city harassing people and trespassing on the property of others.

I really never thought this would gain any traction when I first typed it out in a total panic about Holly and the rest of the pack. It feels like such a relief to see so many people actually get why it is so wrong for them to just look over our fence like that.

City ordinance should only be applied when dealing with hoarding situations, breeders and people who do not take care of their pets. Imagine how full the shelters would be if they actually went to every home and removed any dog over 3???? There's enough needing homes the way it is. Require them to be licensed and vaccinated and leave them be.
As long as anything on YOUR OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY is not causing a health risk or danger to the public, there is no reason to put your family or your pets through that emotional anguish.
Trespassing and invasion of privacy is not right. Just because they work for the city does not give them this right. These people work for US not the other way around. They are elected and are paid with our taxes....perhaps it's time to remind them.
They should of been taken to court for invading your privacy should not matter hiw many babies you have good luck
Shouldn't matter how many dogs you have people aren't limited on how many kids they can have. Your dogs are your babies and you tale care of them as such. Good luck !
You should be able to own as many of and whatever kind of dog/cat you want
It's not hurting anyone!

As long as they are being taken care of properly and have no issues with the living conditions, it shouldn’t matter how many you have
