Directly behind the shop on the East side is a large common area between East MC Drive and East Townhouse Lane. In that same area is a Pet Sanitation Station with poop bags. However, residents unknown are allowing their dogs to defecate within 4-5 feet from this pet station, with bags available, and just walk away and leave it.\u00a0 These are rather large dogs, too.<\/p>\n

I have no idea why someone would think this was acceptable.\u00a0 Picking up after your dogs on common property is not only responsible and reasonable, but is required by HOA rules and City Ordinances. We are fining dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs as a violation of Health and Safety, as well as getting GP Animal Services involved. These fines will escalate as long as the violation continues.<\/p>\n

Entirely too many dog owners are fouling our common areas, and enough is enough.<\/p>\n
