Friendly Reminders
/Good neighbors are sure to have their dogs on a leash and under control while out in the neighborhood.
Please refer to the Gwinnett County Ordinance: 10-71. - Restraint of dogs for further information to make sure you are in compliance. Here is their link:

Per the Gwinnett County Animal Control website:
“For non-urgent situations such as nuisance barking or lost pets, call the Animal Welfare and Enforcement shelter at 770.339.3200 during shelter operating hours.”
(See shelter operating hours)
“For urgent matters such as neglect, mistreatment, or if an animal is behaving in a way that is threatening to the welfare of the community, call 770.513.5700. Neighborhood assistance may be necessary to document ordinance violations if Animal Welfare and Enforcement did not witness the violation.
Occasionally, a resident may receive an orange warning card as notification of a potential Animal Control Ordinance violation or complaint. Whenever possible, opportunities are offered to correct a violation before court action occurs.
Pet owners can be subject to criminal and/or civil legal action if their pet damages property or injures another animal or a human.””
Feel free to program these numbers into your phone. We want to ensure that all of our neighbors and visitors are safe.
The Board asks that if you have renters, please make them aware of these concerns. The Board appreciates your help with keeping our neighborhood safe.
Thank you.
