Rules and Regulations regarding Pets

VI. PETS

Small household birds and fish are permitted to be kept as pets in the park. All other animals, including reptiles, are prohibited, except as provided herein.

Dogs and cats are NOT permitted without notifying the Board of Directors. Permission will be based on the following:

A. All members of the park must provide the Board with a photograph of each dog and/or cat in their home as well as all pertinent information such as breed, color(s), name, etc.

B. Cats MUST remain entirely within a home and ARE NOT permitted to roam freely through the park. Adherence to this Rule is required and failure to do so is in violation of the Park Rules. You may forfeit the right to keep your pet if you fail to comply.

C. The Board of Directors reserves the right to decline approval of the following pure or mixed breeds of dogs: Mastiff, American Staffordshire Terriers (a.k.a. pit Bulls), Rottweilers, Japanese Tosa and Wolf Hybrids. The Board also reserves the right to request permanent removal from the park of any dog, even though previously approved, found to be a menace, vicious or dangerous, per the following State Statute on Dogs:

Under this Statute, a dog is a nuisance, menace or vicious if, when not engaged in legal hunting or herding, it is running at large and not under the control of any person; the dog barks for continuous period of more than 30 minutes during the night-time hours; the dog digs, scratches, excrete or scatters waste or garbage on someone else’s property; the dog is female and permitted to run at large while in heat; the dog growls, snaps at, runs after or chases a person; the dog runs after or chases bicycles, cars, motorcycles or other vehicles on public roadways; or, whether alone or in a pack with other dogs, bites, attacks or preys on game animals, domestic animals, fowl or people.

C. Dogs and Cats must be inoculated in accordance with applicable state and local laws and regulations. All dogs must be licensed in the Town of Merrimack.

D. Two (2) dogs per household are permitted but they must be leashed AT ALL TIMES when out in the park. They are not to be tied outside without proper supervision and are not allowed on other people’s property. Failure to do so will mean the loss of a tenant’s privilege to have dog(s).

E. Pet waste must be picked up daily from yards and IMMEDIATELY FROM COMMUNITY AREAS. Failure to do so is in violation of the Park Rules and you may forfeit your right to keep your pet.

G. Guest pets are allowed on park property as long as they remain leashed at all times. They are also subject to all other Rules & Regulations regarding Pets.

H. Leaving food outside for animals, with the exception of birds, is forbidden because it encourages animals that are predatory and/or destructive (Fisher Cats, Skunks, etc.) as well as other felines not owned by tenants.
