CLEANING UP DOG POOP IF YOU WALK YOUR DOG, REMEMBER YOU MAY BE ON CANDID CAMERA! This is lovely dog walking weather. Everyone is grateful for the good neighbors who carry a disposal bag or container and pick up the poop their pet puts out. For those who may have forgotten, it is against the law NOT to pick up your pet’s poop. If someone identifies you and sends a picture to Animal Control of you watching your pet pooping on someone else’s property, you could be cited and not picking up the poop could affect your pocket or pocketbook (this could be quite expensive). With the growing number of surveillance cameras and phones with cameras, it is increasingly likely your picture could be taken in such embarrassing circumstances. Be a good neighbor, tuck a bag in your pocket for poop pick-up, don’t get yourself cited and help keep our city clean. THE LAST BAG If you have just used your last bag and your dear dog decides to poop again, try knocking on the neighbor’s door and asking if they have a poop bag you could use, because you just used your last one. Some neighbors would prefer to help you instead of finding poop on their lawn. YOLANDA SAYS: This is the ordinance that we use to cite people that do not pick up after their dogs IF there is solid concrete proof that it is their dog. Section 3-12. Nuisances generally.
