Love them? Then leash them!
Neighbors continue to report unleashed dogs running around in Fairway Oaks. This presents a safety hazard for the animals, potential legal consequences for the owners, and is a violation of Savannah city ordinances.
Who's awesome? The responsible pet owner, that's who.
If you do see a dog running free, inform the owner immediately (if it's known to you - we are a community after all) or call Animal Control at 351-6750 or the City at 311.
Remember, every good dog has a great master.
The Savannah leash laws read:
Sec. 9-5022. Restrictions on dogs running at large.
It shall be unlawful for any dog to be on the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, or loose on vacant lots or unenclosed lots, so that he may freely have access to the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, unless such dog is held firmly on a leash held by a person. It shall be the duty of any owner or possessor or any person who harbors or keeps any dog to confine securely the same within the limits of his own premises and not to permit such dog to run or have access to run the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares or parks of the city except as above set forth or for hunting, field trials and the working of said dogs.
It shall be unlawful for any dog owner to keep or have within the city a dog which habitually or repeatedly chases, snaps at, or attacks pedestrians, bike riders or conducts itself so as to be a public nuisance. To effect the impounding of such a dog, if necessary, the animal control officer shall have the right to muzzle or employ such other methods as may be reasonably necessary to impound such animal.
(Code 1977, § 9-5022)
Sec. 9-5023. Notification regarding tag requirement.
Where any dog is found within the city, without having a license tag as hereby required, it shall be the duty of the humane officer to issue a citation and subpoena for violation of this article.
(Code 1977, § 9-5023)
Sec. 9-5024. Impoundment of dogs--Authorized.
Any dog found upon the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, without the corporate limits of any municipality therein, in violation of this article, shall be caught by the humane officer or his assistant and impounded. The humane officer or his assistant shall have the specific right to enter upon any unenclosed private property to secure capture of any dog in violation of this article.
(Code 1977, § 9-5024)
Sec. 9-5025. Same--Duty of humane officer.
Upon the failure of a person to comply with the notice given him as provided under this article within 24 hours after receiving same or should the person in charge of the premises upon which an unlicensed dog is found disclaim ownership of such dog, by himself or any member of his household when so notified, it shall thereupon become the duty of the humane officer to go upon the premises and take charge of and impound the dog.
(Code 1977, § 9-5025)
Sec. 9-5026. Same--Dogs kept three days.
Any dog impounded under the provisions of this article shall be kept for three days in some convenient place, to be known as the dog pound or humane shelter.
(Code 1977, § 9-5026)

Chatham County has a new “Total Mobility Plan,” wants your input
TOTAL MOBILITY PLAN PUBLIC WORKSHOPS
In September, 2009, the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (CORE MPO) adopted the Framework Mobility Plan, which is the federally required Long Range Transportation Plan.
At that time, the CORE MPO took advantage of the opportunities created by the plan update process, to craft the Framework Mobility Plan as the policy foundation for a more in-depth planning effort which will ultimately incorporate an extensive series of new emphasis areas such as sustainability, Complete Streets, Context Sensitive Design, non-motorized transportation and transit into a comprehensive “Total Mobility Plan.” The CORE MPO Total Mobility Plan will strive to address not just the need for transportation, but also the complex interactions between transportation and the community as a whole. In doing so, the Total Mobility Plan will maximize transportation options in ways which support and reinforce community values and character.
Public input is critical to the planning process, and the CORE MPO is pleased to announce the first series of public workshops on the Total Mobility Plan. These meetings will be held at various locations throughout Chatham County in an effort to obtain as much input as possible. If you or someone you know is interested in the future of transportation in our community, please make an effort to attend one of the workshops.
Your input and participation is critical to the development of the plan, so please mark your calendars!!
