Had you bothered to read the entire article, you'd know that Northglenn is the only city in Adams County that didn't have this animal restriction in place. The other cities in the county have had this restriction in place for many years.
Bet you didn't know that, did ya?
You'd also know that there are many cities across the USA that have this restriction on the number of dogs and cats that can be kept.
Re: 53 - people don’t read articles. They ignorantly reply based on their feelings.
I’m wondering how is this monitored for compliance? Does the municipality have a pet tip line? How do they get access to the home if the homeowner refuses access to their home? Does the municipality get a warrant of some type?
Seems like an unworkable system. But some people like security of government.

While a total of 4 pets, 4 dogs, 4 cats or a combination of both, doesn’t sound like a lot, I guess it could depend on the size of the home, the yard and the owner’s ability to take care of them properly and the proximity of neighbors.
As to kids as some mentioned, you’re likely going to or should get in trouble and a visit from CPS for having 10 kids living in a 2-bedroom 700 SF apartment.
But FWIW, I once lived in a townhouse next door to a hoarder who also hoarded animals – over 6 dogs, an untold number of cats, none of them fixed and more and more, and the stench and noise was unbearable and the roaches and mice infestations that was coming into my home, forced me and some other neighbors to call code enforcement.
Sometimes there are good reasons for such restrictions.
Why does that matter? Maybe they can just pass an ordinance that says "We hereby adopt all ordinances that other places have." Or do you just like to blast other Freepers for your perceived indiscretions? Maybe they read it but disagree with Northglenns practice?
