Another reminder to please keep your dog on a leash when walking anywhere in Loch Alpine, including the former golf course. It doesn’t matter that you believe your dog is nice. Unleashed dogs can create mischief with other loose dogs, as well as make children and pedestrians anxious or scared.
Michigan law requires all dogs over 6 months to be on a leash at all times if they are off of their own property. Residents should call 994-2911 or 911 to report a loose dog. Call at any time, and provide the address where the dog resides. County Animal Control officers will follow up with a warning and/or ticket. Also, Michigan law requires all dogs over 6 months to be licensed annually. Licenses may be obtained on-line from Washtenaw County.
If you are interested in letting your dog off leash, please visit one of the local dog parks:
Paw Run Private Dog Park, 6886 Zeeb Rd., Dexter, 48130
Paw Run Recreation Area, 5365 N. Territorial, Dexter, 48130
Arise Church Dog Park, 11211 Dexter-Pinckney Rd., Pinckney, 48169
And thank you, dog walkers who bag your dog’s poop instead of letting it lie where Fido puts it. Those who leave the bag behind for someone else to pick it up are just adding plastic litter to your dog’s waste along the road.
