Family pets are a matter of preference – your 40-pound German Shepherd that thinks it’s a lapdog, like the Teacup Chihuahua across the street, although undeniably adorable, may not be your neighbor’s idea of man’s best friend.
Due to an increase in calls to the Codes Department regarding neighborhood dogs, we would like to remind our citizens that information regarding dogs and cats in the City of Piperton can be found in our Municipal Code. It is unlawful for dogs to run at large, and excessively noisy animals found to disturb the peace and quiet of any neighborhood are not permitted. Additionally, as this was also a frequent complaint, please be aware that some subdivision covenants have provisions regarding cleaning up after an animal’s mess. Let’s be kind – don’t leave it behind.
