What it is and who needs it.
What the breeding kennel bond guarantees
The City of Duluth licenses dog and cat breeding kennels — operations that breed and raise litters for sale — and conditions the license on a $3,000 surety bond. Because breeding kennels keep animals long term, the City wants a financial backstop standing behind the kennel's humane care and compliance with the animal-services ordinance.
The bond is a consumer-and-animal-welfare guarantee running to the City of Duluth: it stands behind your humane housing and care of the breeding animals and litters, honest dealing with buyers, and compliance with the breeding kennel ordinance. If you violate those terms and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Duluth (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
