Pets in Village Parks

The Village of Allouez Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department would like to remind all residents in Allouez of the rules and responsibilities of pet ownership.

Per Village Code 151-6 dogs and cats are not allowed within a village park or other village managed properties unless the pet is on the proper leash. All pets that are not on the owner’s property must be under the control of the owner or custodian and on a leash not more than six feet in length. There are a few areas in our parks where pets are still not allowed including inside park buildings, on sport fields, within playgrounds, and around picnic areas.

It is also the responsibility of the pet owner or custodian to immediately clean up all waste or defecation and properly dispose of it. The person walking the pet shall have in their possession equipment or bags to properly clean up all waste generated by the animal. Failure of a person to abide by these ordinances could result in a fine, loss of driver’s license, and /or jail time. 

In general we are reminding pet owners to control and clean up after their animal because it is not only the right thing to do, but it is also the law. For more information about animals within the Village of Allouez please read Chapter 151 of the Allouez Code of Ordinances on the Village website at www.villageofallouez.com/government/codes-policies.
