By Erica L. Rodriguez

WACO - The grace period for Waco pet breeders to get a permit has expired.

The City of Waco has an ordinance that requires anyone who chooses not to sterilize their cat or dog to get a Intact Animal Permit. The annual cost for the permit is $35.00 and can be obtained at the Humane Society of Central Texas on 2032 Circle Road in Waco.

Cat and dog breeders without the permit could face a Class C Misdemeanor and a fine up to $2,000. Anyone with questions is being asked to call the Waco Animal Control Unit at 254-750-1765.
