Pick Up After Your Pet
|
 |
Pet waste in common areas is unsightly and unhealthy. Surely our residents and their children respect their neighbors and our neighborhood by picking up after their pets when walking them in common areas and other neighboring communities (e.g., Senators or Breakwater).
|
|
Some Additional Guidelines:
- Pet waste must be picked up, regardless of where the pet walks — road, swale, empty lot, Common Area.
- The area between the road and midway into the swale is Common Area, owned by the HPOA and maintained by individual Lot Owners. Pet walkers using this area must clean up their pet’s waste, just as they must clean it up on other Common Area or empty lots.
- If you see a Member (or non-Member) who fails to remove their pet’s waste, please approach them and remind them of pet courtesy.
- It is each Member’s responsibility to approach abusers and request appropriate pet courtesy.

Leash Rules |
 |
As Per Delaware Law (see link):
Dogs are not permitted to run at large in Delaware, unless they are accompanied and under the reasonable control of an owner or custodian. The only exception is for farm dogs.
From sunset to sunrise, dogs must be: (1) confined in an enclosure that prevents escape; or (2) firmly secured with a collar or chain or other device, so they can't stray from the premises; or (3) under the reasonable control of some person. If a dog is running at large and bites someone, the owner or custodian of the dog is subject to civil liability, as well as a fine of $100 to $500 for the first offense, and $750 to $1,500 for second and subsequent offenses.
As per the City of Lewes Law (see link):
It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dog, from the date of passage of this article, to permit any dog owned or maintained by him, whether licensed or unlicensed, to run at large.
Definition:
OWNER
Any person or persons, firm, association or corporation owning, keeping or harboring a dog.
RUNNING AT LARGE
Wandering, roving or rambling at will, unrestrained off the premises of its owner and not under the control of a human being by cord, leash, chain or otherwise.
