Pet Registration Out and About

If you are a pet owner, please be respectful and courteous to your community and neighbors to make sure that all residents and pets enjoy their living experience at The Fountains. To keep the grounds looking great and fellow residents and pets comfortable and safe, here are a few tips to follow:

PET TIPS & POINTERS

Some residents may have allergies or are simply cautious of pets, so any time you take your pets out for a stroll, make sure they are wearing a leash.

Pick up after your pets by carrying doggy bags or using the designated stations located in the community.

Remind your pet not to do their business in hallways, breezeways, and common areas. But if an accident does occur, be sure to clean up after them, wherever they go.

It is prohibited to let pets roam around on your patio or balcony by themselves, so only let them out when you are around to watch them.

Keep your dog’s barking to a minimum, especially during quiet hours-excessive barking that disturbs your neighbors can be considered a lease violation.

Pet Types

THE FOUNTAINS GENERALLY WELCOMES MOST PETS INTO THE COMMUNITY.

Any animals that aren’t cats or dogs need to stay in a cage or tank. Aquarium tanks over 20 gallons are prohibited, and non-domestic animals are not allowed according to local laws and ordinances.

Pet Registration

If you had a pet at the time you signed your lease, you should have already signed a pet addendum, turned in a pet deposit and/or fee, and registered your pet on www.petscreening.com. Should you decide you want another pet or you are considering becoming a new pet owner, you will need to visit the Community Office to register the pet and sign a new animal addendum before bringing the pet home.

EVERY PET YOU HAVE LIVING WITH YOU NEEDS TO BE REGISTERED SEPARATELY.

SERVICE & ASSISTANCE ANIMALS

If you have a service or assistance animals, please log into your Pet Screening account for a Request for Reasonable Accommodation form to fill out.

Once submitted, your request will be evaluated according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA), Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504), and state legislation.

Out & About

It can be challenging when your pet crosses paths with unfamiliar pets and residents while out and about in the community and neighborhood. Please keep your pets on a leash at all times.

TO MAINTAIN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PETS AND THEIR NEIGHBORS FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE, HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO KEEP ALL RESIDENTS IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE:

Pet Waste

Pet waste stations are provided throughout the community to make cleaning up after your pets easy. Make sure you know where you can and cannot take your pets when they need to go out. Please pick up after them using the pet stations provided or with bags of your own.

Inside your home, all pets should be housebroken. If they have an accident - either in your home or in a common area - please, wipe up after them and use a disinfectant spray to neutralize the odor so they aren’t encouraged to go to the bathroom in that same spot again.

There are outdoor spaces where your dog can run around and interact with other dogs. Here are some tips to help you manage interactions with neighbors or other pets in the common areas:

• When walking through breezeways and common areas, be as quiet as possible so your dog doesn’t disturb your neighbors.

• Teach your dog to walk closely with you on both your right and left sides. That way, you can make sure you are always between your dog and other pets, people, or surprises.

• Failure to clean up after your pet will result in a $250 fine.

• Pets may not use your patio or balcony as a bathroom.

• No pets should be left alone on your balcony or patio at any time.
