All dogs and cats residing in Alameda (4 months or older) must be vaccinated against rabies and licensed by the City of Alameda. No more than three (3) dogs per household. Animal owners must remove animal feces from public and private property.
An HOA can enforce pet limits in the community. Your HOA dog rules can have limitations on breed, the number of pets, and maximum size or weight. For example, if the community is comprised of families with a lot of young children, you might want to prohibit dangerous dog breeds, such as pit bulls and rottweilers.
The remaining states allow a household to own one to six dogs. Some states set a limit for all pets in the household, so other animals would be included in this number. California allows a household to own more that the limit of four dogs if they apply for a kennel permit.
In California, there is no statewide law that limits the number of dogs a person can own. However, local ordinances can vary significantly by city or county. Some areas may have restrictions on the number of pets allowed per household, while others may not.
It is unlawful for any person to keep on any one premises more than three dogs if said dogs are more than four months old.

They must be kept confined to an owner's home/yard or under control of a leash (not over six feet in length) at all times.
