I understand we are allowed 3 per household. We are two separate households under one roof... we want to keep all 8 of our dogs. Is this possible? They are all rescues.

Shasha, You can ask FWACC about how "fosters" are counted with respect to the city ordinances. I'd also encourage you to reach out to some Fort Worth based rescue groups for advice on how they're keeping more than 3. My city allows 4 and then you need a breeder's permit - strange as rescue dogs and cats are always spayed or neutered, so how could they breed? LOL The biggest problem once you clarify how to keep all 8 will be noise control, keeping the barking to a minimum amount and also keeping the poop picked up for showing the dogs are in a sanitary environment. Little things make a difference. I commend you and your family for keeping the dogs while combining households, far too many owner surrendered dogs and we know how full the shelter is. Reply back if you want help finding anything else out, glad to help. I love all dogs!

I would call and ask so you can get a better answer

That probably would be a no, because by the state law i believe it is still one house so it would be 3 dogs per house no matter
