Spring dog rules

Good Morning Jackson!
 
      Well finally spring is in the air!  Slowly but surely the snowbanks are yielding to the warm rays of the sun.  Along with the hint of grass and gardens, we are seeing all the roadside remnants of a tough winter.
      Animal waste is one of those unsightly springtime reminders that is both unhealthy and illegal.  The town of Jackson does have an ordinance that strictly prohibits depositing animal waste on property other than your own.  It is laudable that pet owners in Jackson love their dogs so much they walk them in the harshest of climates.  Let’s show them that we really care and pick up after them as well.  Doggie waste bags should always be a part of your dog walking kit in town and around your own neighborhood.
     Also, don’t forget that all dogs in Jackson must be registered by May 1st.  Your registration application or renewal must be accompanied by a vaccination verification from your pets Vet as well.  Stop by and see Karen and the town hall for your TAGS and stop by any doggie waste kiosk in town for your BAGS!  Happy Spring!
