The tale of a college kid getting a pet on a whim is as old as time. Sometimes, that decision results in a happy pet/owner relationship.

College students have a craze for pets. They are deemed as superior sources of solace for busy and tiresome college life; seeing your dog rush to you the minute you open the door or your cat stretching its petite arms and legs after a good day’s sleep erases all weariness and stress.

Baylor students, faculty and staff who have returned to Waco this fall with pet cats or dogs will face new regulations concerning spaying and neutering.
On Aug. 20, the Waco City Council unanimously approved the second reading of a new ordinance making it official that all Waco pet owners will be required to spay or neuter dogs and cats older than four months. All Waco pet owners are also now required to implant their animals with microchips, a radio frequency identification device placed under the skin. Animals with certain health problems, used by government agencies and animals owned by breeders are exempt from certain measures of the new ordinance.
