Boonville Required ordinance (§ 10-242)

It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, association, firm or corporation to own and keep or harbor upon a single location more than four (4) dogs or four

(4) cats, or a combination of the two, totaling four (4), over four (4) months of age without a kennel license. Said kennel may harbor no more than fifty (50) dogs or fifty (50) cats or a combination of the two totaling fifty (50). Such owner shall file application, therefor, on a form provided by the city clerk, prescribed by the city administrator, which application shall provide information to indicate whether or not the proposed kennel and its operation thereof will not be in violation of state laws and city ordinances. If it appears that such kennel and the operation thereof will not be in violation of state laws and city ordinances, the city clerk shall issue a kennel license to said applicant upon payment of twenty dollars ($20.00). This fee will be in lieu of individual dog and cat licenses. However, the kennel license does not preclude the need for each dog or cat to be vaccinated according to chapter 4, article II, section 4-28; or the need to obtain other city or state licenses when engaged in a commercial business.
