To all dog walkers and their dogs ….

Many residents of Colfax have voiced their concern over the dog doodoo issues.

We all understand that nobody knows when their four-legged friend will need to leave a deposit while enjoying a walk around the beautiful Village of Colfax.

Everyone enjoys the time spent with man’s best friend … enjoying the weather … getting exercise … playing ball in the parks. Please don’t be ‘that person’ who decides they are ‘too good’ or ‘above’ cleaning up the doodoo left by your cute canine. If you are the dog’s walker, please pick up the piles especially on other village resident’s lawns, so they don’t have to DEAL with or STEP in your pooch’s leftovers.

Please carry a baggie with you. If you forgot to bring one along for the walk, there are many locations around the village that you can grab one. Look for the RED dispensers hung on poles along the major walking areas.

The ordinance for not cleaning up after your dog is called the Animal Feces Fine. The 1st offense is $200.50 and the 2nd offense is $263.50. It’s a lot cheaper to grab a free bag and pick it up!!!
