Reminder to Clean-up After Your Dog

Residents and visitors are reminded that the Harris Township ordinance requires those who walk their dogs to clean up after them. Specifically, the ordinance requires that the dog owner or keeper shall immediately remove and dispose of all feces deposited by any dog on private or public property not under the control of the owner or keeper of such dog; further, the owner or keeper shall dispose of feces in a sanitary manner. Failure to clean up after a dog is an ordinance violation, meaning that prosecution could occur upon receipt of a complaint.

Please contact the Zoning/Ordinance Enforcement Officer at 814-466-6228 or at zoning@harristownship.org if you should have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
