long story short, beginning of COVID, I adopted 2 stray puppies.
groom them, fed them, and now they're one year old plus and weigh 20-30kg each.

I thought I would want to get them registered to avoid any legal problems that may arise, but it seems the city councils are "hell bent" on restricting them.
Not wrong, since most mongrels just become a nuisance.

IMO, fees, vaccination requirements are not a problem.

I am living in Shah Alam.
I'm reading through the TNC and it seem that there might be a small hiccup in my plans.

1. MBSA is a bit strict, you can only keep 2 dogs if you are at a corner lot or bungalow or semi-D. my house is in the middle, so restricted to 1.
Wondering whether leniency would be allowed if one can proof the premise is large enough. MBPJ/MBSJ does it on a per sqft basis, not strictly what type of house.

2. Mongrels need to be neutered. As a man, I have reservations of doing it to another male because what comes around, goes around.
Can pass as Telomia? or council people dont go through as detail?



I understand why these restrictions are in place. So, I have so far never purposely let them out on their own etc.
However, the restrictions do feel like a minor hindrance to me.
So, any advise on getting it done the proper way?

What is the benefits? I see cons only.

kinda why im asking.
the legal fees is similar to a single Mcdonald's happy meal, but everything else makes things more restrictive.

Main Benefits, I would say you get to take your dog with you when you wanna go overseas etc or can argue with your neighbour with a paper from town council to back you up.

If your neighbours and neighbourhood is cool about it, then no need lah.

If you foresee some trouble then just register for one dog only.

I can foresee it's not easy. If you register, they come to check, see 2 dogs, you are in trouble.

Everyone I know who has dogs have them registered. Shots up to date, dewormed, neutered and whatever else that is necessary.

Don't have pets if you do not want to take responsibility for them.

I honestly, I've done all those except cutting off their balls.
some people circumcise their kids, some dont.
I draw the line at genital mutilation.

I understand the rationale behind it, since most idiots just let their dogs run around like feral beast and fuck the world literally.
I dont.

also, the question remains with quota.
like having 2 kids during china's 1 child era

50/50
some people ignore them, some are afraid of them
then, you also have some guys who are cool because they themselves practically running illegal chicken farm in their backyard.
if they lipot me, i lose 2 dogs, then i counter report, they lose their precious cock fighting past time

depending where and what types houses you stay tho.

if landed in city near with some kampung area, some authorities tend to kacau kacau.

In my opinion, if you wanted to follow the rules to avoid getting in trouble if our dear enforcers come to kacau...you should understand the rules before taking in the 2 strays. However it is pass that now.

Clearly according to the rules u cannot have 2 dogs. And the rules also stated u need to cut off their balls.

Your previous action already broke the rule. So next u can either
1. Let go one dog and cut the balls of the dog you are keeping.
2. Let go both since u cannot cut their balls. Means u are not suited to keep dogs (your moral and rules clashes).
3. Keep both and befriends all your surrounding neighbors and make sure your dogs doesnt cause a nuisance. Also dont let them out from your compound...dogs being dogs..well they will be very excited and harder to control. These steps are to minimize risks.

Anyway what are you doing is not morally wrong, it just does not adhere to the current laws. Good luck.

Btw my dad choose number 3. One day, one of his dog got out from our compound and he swiftly got report. Dog gone and he got a summon. Happened 30 years ago when im not even born and my dad told me this when im around 15 years old. So yeah, he love his dogs because he shared it with me even after almost 2 decades.

I'm doing number 3 right now basically.
If they escape, chase them down.
Give them enough space to play with inside and take them out often so they dont have incentive to run out.

Make sure they dont harm children around and make sure the children understand that they are not a danger, but not harmless.

Even if u tried your best and doesnt make mistakes, others might. For my dad's case my grandpa forgot to fully close the door when he went out, so the dog got out. My dad was working, when he came back he was too late already.
