1. Why is dog waste such a big deal?

Besides its bad smell, dog waste can pollute water sources and encourage noxious weeds to grow. Dog waste can harbor microbes and drain into Durango’s creeks and the Animas River. It is also rich in nitrogen, which encourages noxious and invasive weeds to grow.

2. How frequently do I need to license my dog?

In the City of Durango all dogs are required to be licensed annually or triannually through the La Plata County (LPC) Humane Society. For more information on licensing your pet please call the LPC Humane Society at (970) 259-2847 or visit their website.
