Paris Hilton investigated for too many dogs

Paris Hilton, thanks to an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, is under investigation for keeping too many dogs, TMZ reported today.

The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services, the report says, is looking into whether Hilton is violating a city law that limits residents to three pets, unless they are commercial breeders.

Paris told Ellen, "I have 17 dogs — lots ... They all sleep in my bed - well, not all of them, but I let some of them."

Paris said she has so many dogs because "they keep having babies, and I feel bad about giving them away."

Ellen, to her credit, urged the heiress to look into spaying and neutering.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
