Animal control can come to my house any time they want in answer to the lady asking. I even own a breed of dog that my city frowns upon, but I have done everything in order to be sure my dog isn't a problem. Part of my cities ordinances are people with bull breeds can't rent an apartment unless the land lord has the right insurance, hint none of them do and if you own your own house you need to have the special insurance for "dangerous breeds". Your dog can not be tied outside more than two hrs alone, your dog can never be off leash in a public place and your door needs to have a beware sticker. Now if I'm caught violating their rules I run the risk of having my dog taken away, if I don't have the insurance, or if I let my dog run lose even with me in same yard. If I tie my dog out for more than two hours or if I refuse to put a beware sticker on my door I will be evicted. Because those two rules are in place by my trailer park, with 250 trailers in the park if they find you braking the rules when it comes to a bully breed dog your evicted no questions asked no second chances. I made the choice to get a dog rescued from a fighting organization, I got the dog knowing the rules in place and knowing what I would need to do. So again come on in animal control all my eggs are in a basket looking pretty. I'm not getting down on the dude since overlooking of things happens, but since it was asked I answered with how I've delt with city ordinances.
