Please sign this petition if you are in favor of a dog's right to "do his business" in the grass. We don't want our loved furry friends to burn their paws on the hot pavement. We also want to keep our streets free of dog urine and smeared canine feces. The street is where people walk/run, children ride their bikes, and families stroll together. This is an issue us dog owners (and some non-dog owners) take seriously and we are taking a stand now! Our dogs have the right to sniff the grass and protect their paws when they have to go. Thank you for your time and compassion.

The feedback from neighbors has been heavy lately because so many people are tired of being told to walk their dogs on burning asphalt. I am still pushing for a meeting with the board to address this safety concern despite the repeated lack of response from their office.

We bought a dog friendly condo in a dog friendly development & if my dog wanted to live a city life, I would have bought a place in the city.

I run in the development a few times a week and I am constantly dodging cars that like to drive way to close when there is not even another car coming in the opposite direction. Now I have to worry about myself and my dog being hit because people drive way to close for absolutely no reason. Dogs go to the bathroom on the grass! The only reason I purchased my home 8 years ago in this development is because it's dog friendly!

This issue is, was, and continues to be responsible dog ownership and cleaning up after your own dog. We have spent wayyyy too much time, energy and MONEY on something that shouldn't need legislation! Respect your own neighborhood, friends! Keep it clean! All of this arguing is not good for any of us and especially not good for OUR COMMUNITY!!! And oh, by the way, are cats banned to blacktop as well? Just sayin'!

Great that you are able to give our dogs voices on this issue. Our dogs had rights when we purchased condos. Now they have nothing. I fully support this cause. Go on line and research burnt paws to see the bleeding and pain caused by hot tar. Who would want to do that to a pet?

Gina Varacchi - Not fair that we are all being punished for the acts of a few!! Rules - like following the speed limit - are broken ALL DAY here. Why not focus on and fix something like this that threatens our safety. I know this rule is broken regularly because I have almost been hit twice when my dog was peeing in the street!!

The dogs should be able to go on the grass, The blacktop is not good for there pads in the heat or cold with ice melt.

Ridiculous to treat our dogs, friends & neighbors like this. It is a pet friendly community & kid friendly community, let's act like friends & neighbors

Dogs doing their business in the street that my son walks to school on and rides his scooter is disgusting
