PET INFORMATION<br />
ATTENTION! PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP<br />
Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If<br />
your pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash.<br />
Come with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It<br />
may not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show<br />
your respect for every homeowner and our beautiful community.<br />
PLEASE NOTE - PETS ON LEASHES<br />
It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated<br />
for rabies, registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of<br />
an owner’s means of restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be<br />
on a leash. For the safety of all residents, please use all precautions<br />
with your pets and keep them on leashes when walking pets in the<br />
community EVEN IF YOU FEEL YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see<br />
ANY animal roaming freely in the neighborhood, immediately call<br />
Animal Control at 281-342-1512. Even if you recognize the animal,<br />
be very careful approaching it, as you do not know how it will react;<br />
if you can safely retrieve the animal, then call the owner. Otherwise,<br />
Animal Control is your best and safest option.<br />
FORT BEND COUNTY “LEASH LAW”<br />
Animal control authorities are permitted to enter your Property to<br />
patrol and remove pets. Pets must be registered, licensed and inoculated<br />
as required by law.<br />
As a dog owner, you are responsible for the control of your dog. If<br />
your dog is one that ‘makes objectionable noise,’ you must make<br />
every effort to respect your Neighbor’s right to their ‘peace and quiet.’<br />
When your dog is not in your yard, it is imperative that you keep your<br />
dog on a leash at all times. While your dog is friendly to you and your<br />
family, imagine the consequences if it were to harm someone while<br />
it was ‘roaming free.’<br />
Please respect other resident’s right to walk the common area ground<br />
without fear of attack from an unleashed dog.<br />
Laws are written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their<br />
property or kept on a leash to free a community of unrestrained and<br />
free-roaming animals. Although most dog bites occur on the property<br />
where the dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a<br />
substantial threat to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are<br />
at increased risk of being bitten by rabies infected wildlife. Enforcement<br />
of restraint laws is essential in enhancing the animal control<br />
program’s efforts to reduce the risk of rabies in our community.<br />
LICENSING OF DOGS AND CATS<br />
The primary benefit of licensing animals is identification,<br />
should that animal become lost. Licensing also:<br />
• Ensures that rabies vaccination are current.<br />
• Allows for quick identification in case of a bite incident.<br />
• Provides revenue to offset the administration costs of the<br />
animal control program.<br />
VACCINATION<br />
Rabies vaccinations are a prerequisite for licensing dogs and cats<br />
because they are an important control measure for the public health<br />
threat of rabies. In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations<br />
provide a barrier between infected wild animals and humans.<br />
