Dunwoody Council considers ban on transient pet sales, suggests retail ban

The Dunwoody City Council discussed a proposed ordinance that would ban the transient sale of pets, but the panel deferred it and suggested that it could go further – even to the point of banning pet sales at retail facilities.

“Animals sold in informal settings are often bred in unsupervised environments such as ‘puppy mills’ or ‘backyard breeding,’” the memo said.
