We think pets are GREAT! They help enhance life! However, pet owners must be considerate of
others. All pets must be on a leash at all times! You must clean up after your pet in all parks and
on all city streets (City Code, Section 10.13 - misdemeanor). Please do not cause children and oth-
ers to suffer the embarrassment and aggravation of stepping or falling in pet waste.
