It takes a community to keep Westgrove healthy!

YOUR GOAL:  No Poop Left Behind!!
We could all support one another by watching for and pointing out pooping dogs to distracted owners. ​Keeping the park free of dog poop is everyone’s responsibility.

A gentle reminder: Poop can make our dogs sick. Please take note of the following:
​

1. Watch your dog at all times and please don't allow your cell phone to be a primary focus. Your dog requires your supervision, just like children at a playground.
2. Not sure if your dog pooped? Be a good neighbor — walk around and pick-up a poop before you leave.
   
3. Dog poop is not fertilizer. If it was, it would be sold at Lowe's or Home Depot and we'd all be rich ($$ ... ha, ha, ha!). More importantly though, dog poop has lots of bacteria that can make our dogs sick. 
   
4. What do I do if you see a dog pooping and no one walking towards it? Please kindly say something like:
         • "Hello, dog pooping!" 
         • "Hello, (dog breed) pooping!"
   
   

The P.A.C.K. recognizes that it takes a community effort keep our dogs HEALTHY and safe — so, we THANK YOU for your vigilance.
