Many Driftwood Point residents have reported an increase in dog misbehavior. Some of the incidents are unleashed dogs, aggressive dogs who assault walkers and bikers, and the ever-present piles of doggy doo-doo on the ground. Please be a good neighbor and scoop your poop from your pet.  Unincorporated Pierce County does have, and does enforce, a leash law.
 
To report violators of this law, please call or visit the Pierce County Humane Society at 253-383-2733 or Pierce County's website.
