Really, you just need to have a Federal 501(c)(3) certification and get approval from the County authorities. However, the stupid ordinance also specifically prohibits operating any type of animal shelter or rescue within the city limits.
Really .... the people who run this town are such .... great, I'm at a loss for words. Let's just say that the only way they would ever think to treat an animal decently would be if Jesus himself came back and on authority from the Christian God inserted "Thou Shalt Not Cause Pain and Suffering to Any Animal, for They are the Equal to Man in the Eyes of God" as the Eleventh Commandment.
And even then ... they'd still have trouble with the concept.
