I populate my towns with my own families and play them all but I cannot seem to prevent the game from giving my played families dogs and three or four or more puppies when I am not playing. This morning I left one family (one sim plus a cat) for two minutes to go to another household and when I got back my sim had one female dog and four puppies. This is ridiculous. I don't use mods but is a mod the only solution? I have Story Progression turned off.

It almost sounds like those babies animals are being spawned for the Pet Adoptions, so OverWatch will be the one that will put a stop to your problem. I use to have this very same problem as well, until I used this. If you do use this mod, you will need to change the settings for it to take place.
◦Stop Pet Adoption ◾ Whether to disable EA's Neighborhood Pet Adoption system
◾Default: False ~~~~ You will need to change this to True.
Without mods, and even with the built-in progression switched off, the game will still do certain things as it feels like it such as dragoon those sims into different careers to settle a perceived imbalance of co-workers. And adopt pets, among other things, even if you've switched in and out only for a moment with the game clock paused. The way TS3 is designed, all inactive sims around town exist solely for the convenience and amusement of the sims you have active at the moment and there is little regard for the ones you wish to play rotationally.

I had a sim who just got pregnant, I switched households to do something else for about 12 sim hours, came back to find the baby had been born AND the mother had been given a degree! She never even went to University. #StoryProgressionProblems

Yeah... I keep reading over all it does and seems simultaneously awesome and overwhelming!

Yes, they do exist. Maybe they're not the latest model, but certainly better than no helmets at all.
@GraceyManor - Do you play with Story progression turned off? If so that sort of thing shouldn't happen.
I play with Ea's story progression off, I use Nraas SP.
