Well, forget it folks. It is now too late. Today city council approved the amendments what require mandatory microchipping and breeding permits that allow Animal Control to inspect your home and potentially seize all your dogs if they think you are not in compliance with all animal control regulations. Thanks to anyone who tried to help. Just too little too late. We all need to get together to try and stop this from happening anywhere else.
