Take the It's My Doodie Pledge

What's the Problem?
Pet waste is not only unpleasant to see or smell (or step in), but is a major health risk to pets and people - and water quality! There are an estimated 60,000 dogs in the Stark County area. If the average dog produces just 3/4 pounds of waste per day, that means about 45,000 pounds of dog waste is being produced each day in our community. Plain Township even has a Home Rule Resolution regarding animal waste, another good reason to pick it up!
It's My Doodie
Take the It's My Doodie Pledge to pick up after your pets while on a walk and around the yard and disposing of it properly. Click Here to download the It's My Doodie Pledge. Then, submit your pledge and a photo of your pet to general@plaintownship.com. You will even see your pet in the It's My Doodie Gallery.
Schneider Park - Dog Park
Visit the four-acre dog park at Schneider Community Park for a pet play date. The dog park is on the east side of the park, along a group of trees that provides shade to park goers and their dogs. This free-access dog park is open year-round and has a 1.5-acre section for small dogs (under 30 lbs) and a 2.5-acre area for larger dogs (over 30 lbs).
Lush green grass gives your pet the perfect playground to exercise, play with other dogs or just rest in the shade. These areas are maintained by Township Maintenance staff on a daily basis and disposal bags are provided to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pet.
Please honor the Dog Park Rules to ensure a happy visit.
