Irvine, California

Ordinance Number 11-14
October 25, 2011 In October 2011, the Irvine City Council passed a ban on the sale of pet shops puppies and kittens, using, as Glendale did, language similar to that of the West Hollywood ordinance. Just before the passage of the ordinance, the Irvine Company announced that its properties will no longer lease to pet shops that sell puppies and kittens. The two Russo’s stores will have to leave once their leases expire (the Newport Beach location has four more years).
