<description><![CDATA[We used to allow animals in our commons, but we do not do so now.  Our commons is often quite crowded, and several years ago, a resident brought a dog into the commons, and a 90+ year old resident fell over the animal.  The fall resulted in an injury.<br /> <br />We decided that pet friendly though we be, pets were not ideal in an environment where multiple seniors were congregated in one central location.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is from our resident handbook:<br />Pets, including cats, must be on a leash and supervised by the owner at all times when outside. Residents may walk their pets through corridors to get through buildings; but, pets should not be brought into areas such as offices, dining areas, sitting room, classrooms, wellness center etc.<br /> <br />We also have designated areas outside that are suitable for walking pets. Residents are responsible for picking up pet waste, sealing it in a plastic bag, and disposing of it in their trash receptacles.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are a very pet friendly community. Pets are allowed everywhere except the dining rooms and kitchen. They must be on a leash or carried at all times and are not allowed on the furniture. Other than that there are no rules/policy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We stopped allowing pets in common buildings about two years ago when I had a string of allergic and one extremely allergic prospective resident visit. We got some pushback initially (like with any change) but it’s part of the fabric now, for the most part.]]></description>
