Pets can be a wonderful addition to your family, but please remember, as a pet owner, to make sure that your four-legged friend does not become a nuisance to other residents. Quail Creek is a pet-friendly community, but please take into account a few of these pet reminders:
• While walking your pets in our community, bring a baggie with you to pick up your pet’s waste and dispose of it at home. As a responsible pet owner, you must “pack the poop” home every time. Please do not use receptacles located at Quail Creek facilities, with the exception of the Dog Park. Trash receptacles are not emptied on a daily basis and quickly become foul-smelling if loaded with dog poop. Animal waste contains bacteria that can pollute stormwater and be transported to our fragile desert washes. Pet waste does not just “go away,” and it doesn’t turn into fertilizer. Please remember, there is no poop fairy!
• When your dog is not in an enclosed area, remember to keep your pet on a leash. A leash provides emergency control over your pet. Even if your dog has perfect recall and you can control their every move from 100 feet away, you can’t control the world around them. You may encounter unfriendly dogs, hungry coyotes, irresistible temptations in the form of rabbits or ground squirrels, or a person who is allergic or afraid of dogs.
• Dogs are welcome in all common areas of Quail Creek unless otherwise posted. In the internal neighborhoods, the streets and resident yards are private property. It is trespassing when dogs enter another homeowner’s property.
