Trails:

What do we do if there are unneutered male dogs in the park? There have beens several instances recently at the park and an unneutered male pit bull mix was constantly trying to hump my male dog. I'm afraid of a fight breaking out. The web page says dogs must be spayed/neutered, but the rules sign posted (I'm pretty sure) does not say it's necessary. We've just had to leave every time this has happened.

Assuming you are referring to Ferguson Dog Park, according to our Parks Superintendent, there is a spay/neuter requirement at the dog park and it is on the sign. This is not an ordinance and to this point, the dog park is the only facility where spaying and neutering are required. If you are referring to any of our other City park, they are subject to the ordinance requiring dogs to be on a leash. An any case, if you encounter an aggressive dog you should contact Animal Control (or BPD in an emergency). Animal Control's # is 349-3492. Thank you for contacting us. Public feedback is important to us in helping to maintain safe and clean parks and facilities.
