It is unlawful to have custody of any dog and fail to immediately remove and dispose of any feces deposited by such dog upon public property or upon private property not owned or controlled by the owner or person having the custody of such dog. It is also unlawful to allow dog 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.

"Service animals" are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA (Adults with Disabilities Act)." -U.S. Department of Justice

Mandatory registration of service animals is not permissible under the ADA (Adults with Disabilities Act) and does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag, nor specific harness. Therefore, the City of Roseville does not issue service dog ID tags. If you would like to obtain service dog identification, you will need to contact a private company. Service dogs are still subject to the same dog licensing and rabies vaccination laws that are applied to all dogs in the City of Roseville and must be licensed with the City of Roseville.

Please report the following immediately to Animal Control - Animal bites to humans, wild animal bites to domestic animals, bat to human contact, and bat to domestic animal contact. A domestic animal involved in a bite or contact with wildlife may be required to be quarantined.
