Officials Turn To DNA To Find Which Pup Is Pooing In Yard

Last updated on Friday, October 26, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Several Indianapolis apartment complex property managers have turned to DNA to catch dog owners who fail to clean up after their pets.

They've employed a company called Poo Prints that take cheek swabs from renter's dogs to collect DNA samples of the pets.

If maintenance crews find dog droppings anywhere on the apartment's property, they collect a sample that's sent for analysis. Renters found to have failed to clean up after their canine face fines.

One of those apartments is 360 Market Square. Property manager Katie Wright tells WISH-TV that renters must keep an eye on their dog everywhere at the complex.

She says renters who don't clean up their dog's feces could face fines starting anywhere from $200 to $1,000, depending on whether carpeting, flooring, furniture or other property is soiled.
