ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — Northglenn's new pet limit ordinance went into effect over the weekend.

"We had a couple of residents come to a city council meeting, and they expressed concern over their neighbors having too many dogs in their backyard," said James Burlison, public information officer with the Northglenn Police Department. "Smell, lots of noise from the barking, the residents said they were unable to enjoy their own backyard, so one of the city council members decided to take it up."

The department worked with the city to come up with the new ordinance, which caps the total number of pets residents can have in their house at four. Residents can have up to four dogs or up to four cats, or a combination of the two, as long as it does not exceed four total.
