🐾 Pet Owners Reminder 🐾

As we enjoy walking our pets throughout the community, please remember to follow the Town of Dyer's Animal Waste Ordinance.

Many children and families use our parks, trails, and green spaces for recreation and play. Recently, the amount of pet waste being left behind has increased and has become a concern for residents and park users.

Please do your part by cleaning up after your pets and properly disposing of waste. Together, we can help keep our parks, sidewalks, and public spaces clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

Town of Dyer Animal Waste Ordinance (Sec. 6-86):
The owner of every animal is responsible for removing any waste deposited by their animal on public walks, recreation areas, or private property.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep Dyer a great place to live! 🐶🐾🌳
