There has been an increase in the number of dogs seen off leash in the community and owners are reminded to have their dogs on leash at all times when walking or exercising their pets. Pets owners are absolutely liable for any damages or injuries caused by their pets at any time on the property per the Association CC&Rs, Article III, Section 7.

Additionally, Orange County’s animal law states, “A person having custody of any animal shall not permit, either willfully or through failure to exercise due care or control, any such animal to defecate upon any public area, private property, county park or beach. The person having custody of any animal shall immediately remove any feces deposited by such animal”. Pet owners, please leash and pick up after your pet(s), as per local Orange County and California Laws.
