Pick up after your dog!
KINY Radio, Friday, January 25, 2013
Zero tolerance for dog
violations announced in Juneau
A zero tolerance
for dog violations in municipal parks has been initiated
by City Hall and the Gastineau Humane Society.
George Schaff, the city's Parks and Landscape
Superintendent, says its an ongoing problem that has
spurred their decision to launch the heightened
enforcement.
So effective immediately, he says Animal Control
officers will issue citations up to $100 and/or
mandatory court appearances for anyone not cleaning up
after their pets and animals that are not on a leash or
under competent voice control.
And there will be no warnings.
The Gastineau Humane Society enforces Juneau’s animal
control regulations under a contract with the city and
borough.

 Clean
up after your dog: The Grateful Dogs of Juneau
reminds dog owners to pick up after their dogs. In
recent years, dog owners have made great strides in
promoting a dog friendly community by cleaning up after
their dogs. If we continue to clean up after our
dogs, we can make Juneau an even more attractive place
to live and a more dog friendly community.

KEEPING YOUR DOG
SAFE in the dark
Keep
you and your dog safe after dark: With
long winter nights, the Grateful Dogs Of Juneau reminds
dog owners to use reflective clothing and safety lights
both on themselves and on their dogs, when walking or
jogging with their dogs after dark. Dogs and
pedestrians that are not visible to drivers are a
hazard.
Dog owners should do all that they
can to keep themselves and their dogs safe when walking
or jogging after dark. Appropriate safety clothing
and lights for you and your dog are readily available at
several stores in the community.
