Englewood caps cats and dogs at six per household combined, with additional pets requiring written approval from the Health Officer.
Under Chapter 464 of the Englewood Code, no household may keep or harbor more than six cats or dogs in total. Owners wishing to exceed the six-pet cap must apply in writing to the Health Officer using a Board of Health application form. Additionally, anyone keeping more than one animal must maintain them so they do not constitute a public health hazard or nuisance, providing a local backstop against animal hoarding conditions independent of state cruelty laws.
Keeping more than six cats or dogs without Board of Health approval, or maintaining animals in conditions that create a nuisance or health hazard, violates Chapter 464.
