Recently, cities have been looking at their animal ordinances or animal shelters to improve their care of the pet population. Many are reworking ordinances to better control what animals are allowed or the number of animals allowed within city limits as well as ensuring humane, proper treatment of pets. Other cities are building or upgrading their animal shelters to help control the stray population.
