Why?
Because the shelters are way over 100% capacity and the situation is out of hand. Permits already issued remain in effect but new permits will not be issued until shelters are at 75% capacity or less.

What?
Los Angeles has had mandatory spay/neuter since 2008. If you want to breed a dog, you need a permit as well as a special ownership license plus there are an assortment of rules regarding sales of puppies. Breeding and selling puppies without proper permits will generate a hefty fine.

How to help?
Consider fostering for a rescue group. Every animal that goes to foster reduces the shelter over-population. Want contact information for fostering? Click here to see our affiliated Rescue Groups.

Imagine a world where a landlord cannot ask if you have pets on an application and cannot charge a monthly fee for pets. Right now, according to the bill's sponsor, only 26% of apartment listings in Los Angeles are pet friendly. Under the new bill, a landlord must show good reason for excluding pets (such as health reasons).

Difficulty in finding housing that accepts pets is a major reason for pet relinquishment to the shelter.
