Is it Legal? Pittsburgh limits how many dogs and cats you can keep

Pittsburghers with a house full of furry friends may want to count how many paws are under their roof. City law generally prohibits a person from owning, harboring or maintaining more than five dogs or cats, or any combination of the two, within Pittsburgh. That means a household could have five dogs, five cats or a mix such as three cats and two dogs. A sixth dog or cat would generally put the household over the limit. The restriction applies specifically to dogs and cats, making descriptions of the ordinance as a broad “five-pet limit” potentially misleading. Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control provides information for pet owners and the city's requirements at pittsburghpa.gov . When Pittsburgh allows more than five dogs or cats The city provides exceptions to the five-animal limit. Residents who foster dogs or cats and help place them in permanent homes can keep more than five if they obtain an exemption permit from Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control. Permitted kennels and catteries also are exempt from the limit. The exception extends to kennels registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Sign up: Don’t wait for tomorrow.
