ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a portable animal waste remover with an elongated handle, or two handle components attached to a tapered scoop. The tapered scoop easily fits between an animal's hind legs prior to that animal's defecation. The scoop can contain a notch into which the edges or handles of a disposable bag insert. The bag thereby acts as a liner for the scoop and traps the waste from the animal. The user removes the uppermost edges of the bag from the slot and removes the bag from the curved scoop while retaining the waste within the bag. In other embodiments the elongated handle has an adjustable handle length extension, comprises a wheel, or fits within the user's pocket.
