A reader wrote in asking about housing multiple dogs based on our recent article, "Unlimited Cats and Cars":I need to find out about getting a kennel license and can't find anything about where to go. You mention that the cost is $130. Could you post where someone can go to get one of these kennel license?Remember the rule of "four or more": if you have four or more dogs at one location ("any lot, building, structure, enclosure, or premises where four (4) or more dogs are kept or maintained"), then you need a Kennel Permit. To get a Kennel Permit to board or breed (or board and breed), just fill out the simple, one page application and send it in for review. (Additionally, all new dog kennels require compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and additional fees may be required.)
So, go get legal if you want to have more dogs than three. Remember: Four or More = permits!

So does that mean that if someone has a 12-unit apartment building, if they allow dogs and four of their tenants have dogs, they need a kennel license for the apartment building?
Go to laanimalservices.com to find out. Each unit and home is allowed three dogs and three cats if pets are allowed. You will not get a kennel permit if you are within 500 feet of a residential dwelling. This is so people aren't disturbed by barking dogs. You also must be zoned m1, m2, a1, a2 or c.
