City officials enforcing pet owner licenses

ALBERT LEA, Minn. – City officials are working to make sure pet owner licenses for dogs and cats are up to date, ahead of warmer weather. Officials are worried, animals that aren’t licensed are more likely to be unvaccinated and unfixed, meaning a higher chance of disease and unwanted litters. The city plans to enforce the ordinance, which also limits households to owning two dogs, through complaints filed by residents. Any owners found in violation of the ordinance may be subject to penalties.
