West Bend, WI to Consider Repealing Limit Law on April 19 The West Bend Common Council will consider two proposals regarding the town?s current dog ownership limit law at its April 19th meeting. All local residents are encouraged to contact the council and mayor prior to the meeting and ask them to support the proposal to remove the limit on dog ownership. Current municipal code states that no resident may own more than two dogs and two cats over five months of age without a kennel license. The council is considering either increasing the limit to three, or removing the limit altogether. The AKC opposes limits on dog ownership, as they do nothing to address irresponsible ownership and restrict the rights of those who take their responsibilities seriously. We strongly support the council proposal to remove the limits on dog ownership. Read more about the AKC?s position on animal limit laws.
