Can The City Tell Us How To Kennel Our Dogs?

Question: What are our rights regarding dogs and city ordinance? How?
Question Detail: The town we live in is harassing us about our dogs. We can't chain them up, can't let them run around, so we bought a huge kennel cage for them put them to the back beside the house and they say that's unsanitary. We rent and the land lord won't let us put a fence to fence in the backyard and we can't put the cage there because it slopes they say they are going to fine us and take our dogs what are our rights.



Answer:  Basically yes, they can interfere with your keeping the dogs in a kennel.  In the long run, finding a better rental that can accommodate  your absence all day or a doggie daycare is the most cost effective solution.  Think about living in that cage all day.  You need a better solution for your pets.  A lawyer playing legal games with the city attorney is not a solution to the problem.  Look in the mirror and you will find the solution.
