Kennels, Pet Shops, Shelter and Pound Inspection Program
The Environmental Health Unit permits and inspects kennels, pet shops, animal shelters and pounds. All new facilities must submit a plan of the facility for review and approval to the Environmental Health Unit prior to operation. Permitted businesses are then inspected once a year or more frequently if necessary.
