Please be sure to respect the yards of HMP’s homeowners by curbing your pet. Not only is it being courteous, it’s the law. At the request of several residents, here is a reminder (in summary) from the city’s dog and cat curbing requirements:
“No person knowingly shall allow a dog or cat which is kept by that person to defecate or urinate on a public street, byway, municipally owned or public land or building, or upon private property, in the city without the prior permission of the owner of such property; however, if an animal defecates on property described in this subsection, the animal’s owner or keeper promptly shall remove any feces to a waste container, or otherwise dispose of such material in a manner inoffensive to reasonable public sensibilities.”
