Pet Waste Pollutes Lakes and Streams Pet owners must clean up after their pets – it’s the law. When pet waste is left behind, rainwater washes it into lakes and streams. Before leaving the house to take an animal for a walk, pet owners should be sure to bring a bag along for proper disposal of pet waste. “Many responsible dog owners bring bags to clean up after pets on walks, but it’s easy to overlook our backyards as a source of pollution,” said Interim Water Resources Manager Ben Scharenbroich. “Dog waste that accumulates in the backyard gets washed into lakes and streams when it rains or when the snow melts.” Dog waste contains harmful bacteria, parasites and viruses that pollute water bodies and can cause illness. Pet waste breaks down differently than wild animal waste, as it contains excess nutrients – which may cause algae blooms in lakes and streams. Dogs Must be Leashed at All Times City of Plymouth ordinances require pets to be leashed at all times, except when on their owner’s private property. The ordinance protects animals and people alike. No matter how well-trained they are, unrestrained animals are at increased risk of being injured by vehicles or other animals in the area. People can be injured when a typically friendly pet becomes unexpectedly aggressive or suddenly enters the path of a bicyclist, pedestrian or motorist. If a dog is observed without a leash where not allowed, the animal’s owner can be cited with a misdemeanor and fine of up to $128. Those responsible for unrestrained animals are also liable for their animal’s actions. -more - Page 7 Call 911 to Report Violations, Concerns For the safety of the community, residents who observe violations of the above animal ordinances or any other public safety concerns are encouraged to call 911 immediately so that a community service officer or police officer can respond. Volunteer Dog Etiquette Ambassadors The City of Plymouth has a new volunteer position available – dog etiquette ambassadors. Once social distancing requirements are lifted, these friendly volunteers will walk through Plymouth’s parks and trails to help distribute educational materials about the city’s pet ordinances, as well as hand out dog waste bags. For details, email volunteer@plymouthmn.gov. Let Dogs Run Free at Dog Parks Dog owners have the opportunity to let dogs play unleashed at the city’s designated dog parks, which feature a number of canine-friendly amenities. Plymouth has three dog parks: •Plymouth Dog Park, 17005 County Road 47 •4 Paws Dog Park, 9755 36th Ave. N. •Happy Tails Dog Park (seasonal), 1700 County Road 101 For more information, visit plymouthmn.gov/dogpark. Cutline: The City of Plymouth reminds residents that dog owners must clean up after their pets – as pet waste pollutes the city’s lakes and streams – and pets must be leashed. Dogs are welcome to play unleashed at Plymouth’s three dog parks. -30- Page 8
