We are in Doggie Violation
I just found out today that it is illegal to harbor stray pets. Jeez! And I thought we were doing a good thing by putting up signs, driving all over town, feeding, bathing and caring for our little "Edmund Dog Vader"...and this is the thanks I get:
10.20.190 Keeping unlicensed dogs or cats prohibited.
A person, shall not harbor or keep, or cause or permit to be harbored or kept, any unlicensed dog or cat in the unincorporated territory of the county of Los Angeles, or in any city in Los Angeles County which has adopted this Title 10. (Ord. 2000-0075 § 28, 2000: Ord. 93-0002 § 2 (part), 1993: Ord. 9454 § 1 (part), 1967: Ord. 4729 Art. 4 § 402, 1946.)
Now we might have to send our Eddie to the shelter and wait to see if he gets claimed before he can be officially adopted as our baby.
Pray for the peace of our puppy.

1. That code section only applies in the City of LA if the city has adopted it. You should check to see if it has.
2. That section doesn't make it illegal to take in a stray, only to be in possession of an unlicensed dog or cat. Get him a license and you'll be fine. Of course, they might require proof of shots, but that's probably a good idea anyway.
