At Sgt. Poopers we take the responsibility for animals and the environment seriously. Our mission is not just to keep lawns free from pet waste, but also to raise community awareness so that humans take full responsibility for animals and the environment we all share.

By keeping Dallas area yards clean and pet-waste free, Sgt. Poopers helps people and animals lead healthier, happier lives. And, we donate a percentage of our proceeds to animal rescue organizations to help less fortunate animals. For example, this hurricane season, Sgt. Poopers donated to the disaster relief funds of the Humane Society of the United States (“HSUS”) and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (“ASPCA”).

Sometimes when we see a story on the news about an abused animal, see a poster for a lost dog or cat, or hear about suffering caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters, we might think, “Oh, that’s sad, but I can’t do anything about it.”

The good news is, you CAN do something about it! Just like each one of us can do something to reduce our carbon footprint on the earth by taking simple steps such as cleaning up after our animals (or letting us do it for you!).

A great way to help is to volunteer at your local shelter or rescue group. Another fantastic way to help is to donate any amount you can spare to local and national rescue organizations. Believe it or not, every single dollar does make a difference in the lives of animals. Another, simple yet powerful way you can help is to take the ASPCA’s Pledge to Fight Animal Cruelty—just click the link below. If people work together, each of us does not shoulder the burden of animal welfare alone—we are empowered by others to do great things.

Sgt. Poopers took the pledge. Join us now and take the pledge yourself to fight animal cruelty and make the world a better place not just for us, but for the animals that depend on us!

Dog Poop is Sewage not "Fertilizer"

Sewage from dogs is poisoning our own backyardsIf you thought China, Peru or Russia was polluted, perhaps you should first check your backyard. With 1.2 million dogs in North Central Texas, that’s the sewage equivalent of a city the size of Dallas with no toilets. Local dogs produce some 900,000 pounds of sewage per day, much of it contaminating the environment, especially groundwater, area lakes and the Trinity River.

The Open Sewer in your Backyard

Pathogens transfer from dog waste to children.Hidden in the midst of North Central Texas is a city with a population of 1.2 million. It’s as large as the city of Dallas itself, but without a single flushing toilet. That’s right.
