It's About Dogs!
Based on demographics of communities like ours, a conservative estimate projects that 400+ dogs live in our community. That makes for a lot of dog walking, doggie do-do; dogs lost, dogs loose and dogs barking.
As a subdivision of Albemarle County, Glenmore is subject to the county's ordinances regarding dogs. (See links below).
Rather than a listing a bunch of DON'Ts, here a list of DO's
DO - license your dog and attach the tag to your dog's collar.
DO - keep your dog on a leash at all times. Positive control is not enough.
DO - prevent excessive barking. Be a good neighbor and find out what's causing your dog to bark excessively and work modify the behavior. Check out this WebMD article for some suggestions
DO - make use of the Glenmore Dog Park, located West of the Sports Field, off Carroll Creek.
DO - make use of the 15+ miles of Walking Paths and Trails to exercise your dog, and
