We give honor to all those who HAVE been picking up their dog’s p**p at the Park. 🐲💩🏅

We found so much p**p during the Fall Maintenance clean up day last week. (Even more than what is pictured) Make sure to be watching your dog at all times when at the park, especially if they haven’t p**ped yet that day and CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PUP!

P**p that isn’t cleaned up can spreads bacteria, parasites, and diseases to your pup AND YOU. Diseases like Giardia, E. Coli, Roundworms, Salmonella and more. Just one run through the grass and stepping in the p**p accidentally can lead to contracting those diseases.

Especially with the days getting darker fast and more leaves on the ground please stay hyper aware at the park and don’t drop the search until the p**p is found and cleaned up

Be aware. Be vigilant. Let people know if you see a dog popping and don’t see a human going to clean it up. (It’s okay to shout it out) Bring Honor to your family’s name.
