The ordinance means residents can have a maximum of either four dogs, four cats, or a combination of both, as long as the total does not exceed four. However, existing pet owners can apply for a &#8220;previously owned pet exception&#8221; if they notify the city of any additional pets by the deadline. The city, which previously had no pet limits, emphasizes that this regulation aligns with practices in neighboring municipalities and seeks to create a balanced environment for community residents. Enforcement of the new rule will focus on education and outreach initially,with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mmas-chael-sonnen-faces-11-counts-of-battery-after-las-vegas-brawl\/\" title=\"MMA&#039;s Chael Sonnen Faces 11 Counts of Battery After Las Vegas Brawl\">potential penalties<\/a> for non-compliance after the deadline.Other cities in Colorado, as well as several municipalities across the country, have similar pet ownership restrictions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The cat&rsquo;s out of the bag on a new pet ordinance in this Colorado town.<\/p>\n<p>Each household in Northglenn, a municipality of 38,000 people near Denver, will be limited to a total of four dogs and cats starting on Aug. 1 of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northglenn.org\/news_detail_T17_R733.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> for the city of Northglenn warned of the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campbell-dropping-soup-from-its-name\/\" title=\"Campbell Dropping &#039;Soup&#039;
