A.
It is
unlawful for the owner or person having the custody of any dog to
fail to immediately remove and dispose of in a sanitary manner, by
placing in a closed or sealed container and depositing in a trash
receptacle, any feces deposited by such dog upon public property or
upon private property not exclusively owned or controlled by the owner
or person having the custody of such dog.
B.
Any
person who has the charge or control of any dog in a location other
than on private property exclusively owned or controlled by such person,
or on the property of the owner of the dog, shall have in his or her
possession a suitable wrapper, bag or container for the purpose of
complying with the requirements of this section. The failure of any
person to carry such a wrapper, bag or container when in charge or
control of any dog in a location other than on property exclusively
owned or controlled by such person, or on the property of the owner
of the dog, shall constitute a violation of this section.
C.
Subsections A and B of this section shall not apply to the proper use of guide dogs, service dogs, or signal dogs as defined in Section 54.1 of the California Civil Code, as may be amended.
D.
It is
unlawful for the owner or person having the custody of any dog to
allow its feces to accumulate or remain on the ground or other surface
on his or her private property to the extent that the accumulation
creates a nuisance. A nuisance, for purposes of this subsection, includes,
but is not limited to, feces accumulation that interferes with the
use or enjoyment of any neighboring property as a result of odors
or the attraction or breeding of vermin or vectors.
