Kennel Licensing:
A “Kennel” is defined as any household or establishment where five (5) or more dogs are kept and maintained exclusively in that kennel, or dog(s) and/or cat(s) are kept for the purpose of breeding, or dogs and/or cats are offered for sale, trade, profit, or barter. All animal rescue organizations, animal shelters and boarding facilities are also deemed to be kennels no matter the number of dogs and/or cats onsite at any given time.
A kennel license is required for any organization, person, family, or household meeting the definition of “kennel.”
To apply for a kennel license, fill out a Kennel License Application and submit it to lchd@libby.org.
