UPDATE: Tulare Co., CA Proposal Seeking to Expand Animal Ordinance

The AKC Government Relations and many concerned dog owners and breeders submitted comments last week on Tulare County’s proposed changes to its Animal Ordinances and Kennel Standards. These changes will still need to be presented to the County Board of Supervisors at a later date. Tulare County Animal Services Division has not yet indicated when it will bring the proposed changes forward. AKC GR is closely monitoring the situation and will post any information about future meetings or hearings as soon as we are apprised of them. AKC GR will continue to reach out to Animal Services and the Tulare County Board of Supervisors with the offer of discussions to develop new ordinances and standards that can address the county’s concerns, while not causing harm to responsible dog owners, breeders, and kennels operations.
