MBSA’s rules for keeping dogs
The Sun, 13 Mar 2006

  • Terrace houses can keep only one dog but owners in terrace houses with two dogs now may care for them until they die.
  • Corner terrace houses with land are allowed to keep two dogs
  • Bungalows and semi-detached homes are allowed to have two dogs without neighbor’s feedback
  • New dog owners in terrace houses need to get feedback from immediate neighbors before getting a dog license 
  • Kennels are not compulsory
  • Owners need not produce veterinary certificate when applying for license, but must submit a photograph of their dog
  • Licensing fee reduced from RM60 to RM30 per dog (not inclusive of RM2 for application form)
  • Dog licenses obtained from another local authority (and residents move to Shah Alam) remain valid until due for renewal 
  • Senior citizens and pensioners above 56 get 50% discount for dog licenses
  • Disabled people are exempted from paying for license if they produce disabled card.

Hence it is a good new to dog owner in Shah Alam area where terrace houses are now allowed to keep one dog.
