When Town and Country officials came for their pet, a T&C couple got a lawyer and started talks with officials to repeal the animal ordinance’s breed-specific language.
The revised, breed-neutral animal ordinance had first reading last week, and is scheduled for final reading and approval at the next board of alderman meeting. The article below says that meeting will be August 6, but according to the council website, meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month, which would make the next meeting on August 13. If you wish to attend the next meeting, we suggest you call ahead to confirm: 314-432-6606.
Please send brief notes of encouragement and thanks to city officials:

July 24, 2012[…] But most importantly, the city would remove wording to prevent residents from owning Pit Bulls or dogs that look like Pit Bulls.
[…] The Town and Country Board of Aldermen approved this ordnance for its first reading on Monday night. They will make a final vote in two weeks on Monday August 6.
