... Is CA getting overrun with strays or something?....
The shelter overpopulation problem was the issue.
But "California" is not the term, perhaps. It's one county in question. There are 58 counties in the state. It isn't really useful, maybe, to refer to a state when you are talking about the ordinances of one county.
Most of the county has had the law in effect for a decade.

Have any of you actually ever gotten a ticket for not having the rabies tags on your dogs? I always lose those things, and I've never paid for a dog license.
About the spay/neuter thing, that might be okay if it was easy enough for reputable breeders or dog sports hobbyists to get the waivers...maybe that would even be a solution to puppy mills. It'd be tricky to regulate though, I guess.
Nags Head North Carolina will check and ticket, seen it happen
I have gotten two tickets for no tags. I give the shots to my two dogs myself so I can not get a tag for them. That was about 4 years ago. The cost of the ticket was less then one vet visit
to get the shot so over a six year period I probably saved hundreds of bucks. The only reason I got caught was I left the gate open and both dogs where barking at some guy. My dogs where only about 25 yards away and when the dog catcher showed up they ran back in my yard and she shut the gate. I live in the city and take them every where no problems.
Those who would give up essential freedoms for the temporary feeling of safety deserve neither!!

Connie - have you read that in CA they just enacted a law that went into effect January 1 that says you can't have your dog tethered to a stationary object for more than 4 hours?
I read that and got pretty upset. The fencing in my yard isn't great, so when we leave for a few hours and the weather is nice, I tether the Rat Terrier to the front lawn area. He's the only dog small enough to get through the fencing.
It's amazing to me that they would rather a dog stay in a crate for 10 hours than be on a 50 foot lead cable and securely in a yard. That's just me...
(I know it's meant for people who tether their dogs 24x7 and neglect them, but this law doesn't allow for the people who do it right).
Hi..So in Louisville they require proof of shots in order to get tags? Here they are real lax don't even have to have rabies. I was surprised at that. That's to bad they got out cause vets are so expensive and I feel we should be able to give our own shots. I have 17dogs right now. There's no way I can take them all to the vet. Hope everything works out.

I did know that. A lot of places are looking at unchain-that-dog bills.
You're right: It is meant for the people who throw away their dogs (basically) by chaining them in the back yard and forgetting them.
There were opinion polls conducted among training club people, professional trainers, animal control officers, etc., about the four-hour part.
I do see what you mean, absolutely, about not allowing for people who, as you say, so it right.
Unfortunately, a lot of very well-intentioned laws get the good folks but are flouted by the people they are intended for.
