Monday night, the planning commission decided to revise that ordinance, which could mean no limits on the number of pets in a household.
One woman in Bellbrook had to give up a dog to obey the law, which was a heart-wrenching decision.
“He is a great dog. I didn’t want to give him up. But because I wanted to follow the rules, I did. Now I am down to having two pets and that was really hard on my family,” said Tina Morgan from Bellbrook.
The board voted 4 to 1 to revise the current ordinance to put no limit on the number of dogs and cats. It is not a final decision because there had to be another public hearing before the board votes on it again, and then a similar process before the Bellbrook City Council.
