Resident with nine rescue dogs asks Goodview council about local ordinance
Summary
Sue Hassinger, who is considering moving to Goodview, told the council she and her husband care for nine rescue dogs—some with disabilities—and asked whether the city's dog ordinance would allow them to move; the council asked administration to set up a follow-up meeting with the couple.
During the public-comment period, Sue Hassinger told the Goodview City Council that she and her husband are considering moving to Goodview or Winona and asked how the city's dog ordinance would apply to their household, which currently contains nine rescue dogs, some with disabilities. Hassinger said the dogs are rescues and not used for breeding.
Councilmembers asked City Administrator Dan Matejka to meet with the couple to discuss their situation and review the ordinance. The council said there was no immediate reason they would be barred from moving to Goodview but directed staff to follow up and provide specific guidance.
No formal change to the city's dog ordinance was proposed or adopted at the March 17 meeting.
