• We all love our furry friends and appreciate the joy they bring to our community. However, we kindly ask all dog owners to help keep Pelican safe by cleaning up after our pets. Proper disposal of dog waste not only ensures a pleasant environment for everyone, but also helps protect our local wildlife and waterways. Please remember to bring dog waste bags when walking your dogs, and use the designated waste bins for disposal.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Pelican clean and safe!
