Dogs for the Environment
Pet waste pollutes our water! Pet waste is more than smelly and unsightly-it is also a health risk to pets and people, especially children. Pet waste left on trails, sidewalks, streets, and grassy areas is flushed into the nearest waterway when it rains. This waste from animals may contain disease-causing bacteria and viruses that are harmful to humans, pets, and other animals.
