A: In addition to the obvious county and city ordinances (such as leash laws, picking up your animal’s feces and disposing of properly),  the following rules apply to the care and animals within the High Valley Ranch community:

Section 9.8: Limitation on Animals. No animal, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept if they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose. They shall not be kept in numbers or under conditions reasonably objectionable in a closely built-up residential community. Animals shall not be allowed to roam loose outside the limits of any Lot on which they are kept. Any dogs must be kept so as to minimize excessive noise from barking or otherwise shall be considered a nuisance according to the terms of this Declaration.

Section 14.1: Maintenance of Animals. Additionally, in single-family dwelling units, not more than two (2) domestic dogs and/or cats and caged pet birds may be kept within the dwelling, provided said dogs, cats and pet birds are not permitted to run at large. Pets shall be registered, licensed, and inoculated as required by law. Each Lot ­Owner shall be responsible for cleaning up any excrement or other unclean or unsanitary condition caused by any animal of such lot owner or his or her guests or tenants. When not in the yard all animals must be on a leash being held by a person capable of controlling the animal.
