AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
CHAPTER 100 "ANIMALS" OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH
TO CREATE A NEW SECTION 100-3 ENTITLED "RETAIL
SALE OF DOGS AND CATS"; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE
CODE; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING
PROVISIONS; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, existing state and federal laws regulate dog and cat breeders as well as pet
stores that sell dogs and cats including the Animal Welfare Act ("AWA") (7 U.S.C. Section 2131
et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the Animal Welfare Act requires, among other things, the licensing of
certain breeders of dogs and cats and that theses breeders maintain minimum health, safety and
welfare standards for animals in their care with enforcement of these requirements by the United
States Department of Agriculture ("USDA"); and
WHEREAS, according to The Humane Society of the United States, American
consumers purchase dogs and cats from pet stores that the consumers believe to be healthy and
genetically sound, but in reality, the animals often face an array of health problems including
communicable diseases or genetic disorders that present immediately after sale or that do not
surface until several years later, all of which lead to costly veterinary bills and distress to
consumers; and
WHEREAS, according to The Humane Society of the United States, hundreds of
thousands of dogs and cats in the United States have been housed and bred at substandard
breeding facilities known as "puppy mills" or "kitten factories," that mass-produce animals for
sale to the public, with many of these animals being sold in pet stores; and
WHEREAS, according to the USDA inspection reports, some additional documented
problems found at puppy mills include: (1) sanitation problems leading to infectious disease; (2)
large numbers of animals overcrowded in cages; (3) lack of proper veterinary care for severe
illnesses and injuries; (4) lack of protection from harsh weather conditions; and (5) lack of
adequate food and water; and
WHEREAS, while "puppy mill" puppies and "kitten factory" kittens are being sold in
pet stores, many dogs and cats are euthanized by Miami-Dade County's Animal Control
Services; and
WHEREAS, across the country, thousands of independent pet stores as well as large
chains operate profitably with a business model focused on the sale of pet services and supplies
and not on the sale of dogs and cats; many of these stores collaborate with local animal shelter
and rescue organizations to offer space and support for showcasing adoptable homeless pets on
their premises; and
Page 1 of 4
WHEREAS, while the City Commission recognizes that not all dogs and cats retailed in
pet stores are products of inhumane breeding conditions and would not classify every
commercial breeder selling dogs and cats to pet stores as a "puppy mill" or "kitten factory," it is
the City Commission's belief that regulations are needed to regulate the sale of dogs and cats in
pet stores; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissio i
•
FROM: Hans Ottinot, City Attorne ,

DATE: April 17, 2014
RE: Ordinance amending Chapter 100 "Animals" of the City Code to regulate the
retail sale of dogs and cats
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City of Sunny Isles Beach adopt the proposed Ordinance amending
Chapter 100 "Animals" regulating the retail sale of dogs and cats.
REASONS
While the City Commission recognizes that not all dogs and cats retailed in pet stores are products
of inhumane breeding conditions and would not classify every commercial breeder selling dogs and
cats to pet stores as a "puppy mill" or "kitten factory," the City Commission believes that it is
necessary to enact this Ordinance to regulate the sale of dogs and cats to prevent puppy mills and
kitten factories.
This Ordinance is modeled after the City of Lake Worth's Ordinance regarding the retail sale of
dogs and cats.
This Ordinance was requested by Commissioner Jennifer Levin.
