Pet Policy
Service Animal Registry Form
For individuals found having pets in their units, there will be a fee levied of $250.00 for the first offense and $500.00 for each additional offense.
This policy will be distributed to all owners’ attention along with their pre-registration form. If a fee is levied, the owner will be required to pay said fee prior to being able to utilize his unit upon his next scheduled occupancy.
Comfort Animals Policy
Emotional support animal, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals either. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability. It does not matter if a person has a note from a doctor that states that the person has a disability and needs to have the animal for emotional support. A doctor’s letter does not turn an animal into a service animal.
Therefore, emotional support, comfort and/or therapy animals will be considered pets and covered under the pet policy.
However, there are many kennels and pet boarding facilities in the area. Arrangements should be made prior to arrival. There are several independent area kennels listed below that may be able to provide you with pet boarding.
