The keeping of 3 or more dogs on the premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance and no person shall keep or maintain a kennel within the city. The keeping of 3 or more dogs or cats or combination thereof on the same premises, whether owned by the same person or not and for whatever purpose kept, shall constitute a KENNEL; except that a fresh litter of pups may be kept for a period of 3 months before the keeping shall be deemed to be a KENNEL. Because the keeping of 3 or more dogs on the same premises is subject to great abuse, causing discomfort to persons in the area, by way of smell, noise, hazard, and general aesthetic depreciation, the keeping of 3 or more dogs on the premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance and no person shall keep or maintain a kennel within the city.
