Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen discusses Mecklenburg County’s legal requirement for pet licensing. Jensen shares a report explaining that all dogs, cats and even ferrets over four months old must be licensed annually. The licensing system is intended to encourage spaying and neutering, which helps control the pet population and reduces overcrowding in animal shelters. Jensen then provides an update to the story involving the two men who were arrested for riding horses through Uptown Charlotte.

Later, Jensen highlights two additional animal-related stories. The first involves a woman in Gaston County accused of abandoning a box of newborn puppies. The second details overcrowding at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control.
