JUNEAU, Alaska—
A city official in Juneau says animal control officers are cracking down on irresponsible dog owners in city parks.
Parks and Landscape Superintendent George Schaff says there will be zero tolerance for dog owners who commit violations.
He tells KINY-radio (http://bit.ly/WBe2Xg) that effective immediately, animal control officers will issue citations up to $100 or order mandatory court appearances for anyone not cleaning up after their pets.
They also could be cited for not keeping dogs on a leash or under voice control.
He says there will be no warnings.
The municipality contracts with the Gastineau Humane Society to enforce animal control regulations.
