Any person who keeps or operates or proposes to establish a

of the State Department of Health and Senior Services or the local

of Health governing the same after the owner has been afforded a hearing
by either the State Department of Health and Senior Services or local
Board of Health. Any person holding such license shall not be required
to secure individual licenses for dogs owned by such license and kept
at such establishments; such licenses shall not be transferable to
another owner or different premises.
