3~ Appendix l: Required Kennel Space Regulations This appendix contains two types of information used in the research of our recommendations regarding minimum kennel space requirements. The first section covers existing ordinances, including one from NC, that currently regulate minimum kennel space requirements. The second part of the appendix covers general recommendations and/or references from organizations that have formulated findings for recommended minimum kennel space requirements. Ordinances: 1. County of New Hanover- North Carolina Outside enclosure means a pen large enough to provide each dog less than 25 pounds with a kennel of at least 8 feet x 10 feet in size, and each dog 25 pounds or greater with a kennel of 10 feet x 10 feet in size. Animal control services reserves the right to determine if a space is considered suitable for the number and size of dogs housed in an outdoor enclosure. 2. Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department -Nebraska Animal Control - Kennel Runs Kennels come in a variety of shapes and sizes with a comparatively low cost. When your dog is confined in a kennel, use the minimum space requirements from the chart below as a guide. An additional 16 square feet should be used for each dog sharing the pen with another. The minimum pen sizes include a shelter. Kennels can come with tops for jumpers and climbers. For dogs that like to dig, the kennel can be placed on a cement pad. Kennel runs might seem like a silly idea when you have a large yard, but for dogs that love to escape; this may be a good choice. Size of Dog Pen Size ~Sp...
