Pets

With a commitment to Empowering community, VENU is a pet friendly community - many of you have and love pets however to ensure that they and all of our residents experience the best possible experience, there are some very important considerations concerning your pets.
Pets are NOT permitted anywhere in the Pool Facilities, anywhere in the Great Room or Theater, or the Fitness Centers at any time. Maricopa County health regulations restrict pets in many kinds of areas and we must meet or exceed these standards. Also important to note is that many people become intimidated by animals and even offended where these kinds of violations occur. Residents who bring their pets into restricted areas will be asked to remove their pets and penalties may also be imposed.

Other general reminders:

• Dogs and cats must be on leashes and in the control of their owners at all times when on common areas of the property.

• Dogs and cats are not permitted to roam freely about the property and must be contained within the homes of residents. Several reports have been received about rabbits and other wildlife being attacked by cats.

• Animal Control may be called at any time to remove any loose pet. No matter how friendly a pet may be, it still poses a threat to the community if left unattended. Young children are especially at risk. The pets themselves are also at risk as they could easily be hit by a car or other vehicle. Any such incidents are exclusively the responsibility of the pet owners.

• Keep your pets quiet. Pet noise is a disturbance at all hours and is a nuisance that merits violation fmes of $200 per occurrence. Do not leave pets outside on a patio or balcony. Make sure that they have adequate comfort, food, water and ventilation inside the confines of the home at all times when you are away. Pet waste may not be left on patios or balconies for any length of time, and may not be washed offi'away or otherwise discarded from any patio or balcony.

• When escorting pets outside, clean up after your pet. There are dog stations around the property with bags and trash cans. Use them. Do not leave pet waste behind for others to have to deal with. Penalties for violations regarding pet-waste will be strictly enforced.

Pet Waste

Perhaps the single greatest nuisance in any community is Pet Waste. Pet-waste spreads disease. All pet owners are responsible for cleaning up their own pet-waste. There are no exceptions to this common-sense policy. Historically,
the volume of pet-waste left behind on a nightly basis has been an absolute disgrace. This eye-sore reflects poorly on the community and on the residents ofVEND as a whole. Property rules as well as City and County laws are in effect pertaining to pet-control. Ignoring these rules hurts the property on several levels including:

• Eye Appeal

• Sanitation and Hygiene

• Vermin and Vectors that are Carriers of Parasites, Bacteria, Viruses and Disease Causing Micro-Organisms

• Pride in Communiy

• General Comfort

• Overall Satisfaction with the Living Environment

Residents who have made the decision to have a pet have implicitly made the commitment to take all appropriate measures for their pets' actions, needs and care. The governing documents for the property provide for monetary fmes
and a suspension of privileges where violations occur. Known behavior patterns demand that management takes a zero-tolerance stance on these issues and any penalties resulting from violations will be strictly enforced. In some
cases, it may be deemed necessary to deny or revoke permission for residents to keep pets.
All residents are reminded to take responsibility for their pets and are urged to take notice of those who don't.
Residents may report any observations to Eagle Property Management via the Incident Report form. We want to ensure a positive experience for all.

Honorable Mention
It is fair to point out that the VENU Maintenance Team has been diligently cleaning up pet-waste on behalf of residents who have been delinquent in their responsibilities. It is stressed that they have been doing so as a courtesy.
