It is unlawful for any person to erect, establish or maintain any dog kennel or pet shop without first obtaining a permit from the Town Council. The granting of the permit shall be in the discretion of the Town Council, which shall take into consideration the type of construction to be employed as it relates to sanitation and manner in which the animals, birds or fowl are to be housed, as well as the character of the person making application and the zoning regulations as may now be in effect or adopted from time to time. The Town Council may appoint the Poundkeeper as its agent to act in its behalf in investigating applications for the permits.
