Every single person who has cared for a lawn has cleaned up after a dog they didn’t reside with. Lazy owners walk their dogs and don’t bother cleaning up after them. Owners who have frequented dog parks become irritated when piles have accumulated and no one claims ownership. There was nothing for the responsible owner to do, but clean up the mess…. until now! 🙂
The Company
Poo Prints, has developed the technology for finding the owners who won’t clean up after their dogs. Many condo and apartment communities around the United States have begun implementing their services. Dogs residing within these communities must submit to a blood test to get their DNA into the system. Owners who don’t clean up after their dog may be held accountable for their efforts, or rather the lack of effort. Complexes and housing communities in forty-three states are currently utilizing this service.
Adoption in the United States
Various council chambers across the United States have been discussing utilizing this service. Due to many hiking/biking trails, dog parks, city parks that have been inundated with dog waste, many cities believe it is time to take action. Any dog living within city limits will need to submit to a mandatory blood draw. Owners of the dogs found to be “dropping and running” will be fined. A few of the cities considering utilizing the technology are Boulder, CO., Ipswitch, MA., Dallas, TX., and New York City.
