Stone Gate Community has had many loose dogs & cats lately. Please do your part to keep your animals safe and contained on your property.

Please Control Your Pets!It is a deed restriction violation if your pets are not confined to a

fenced backyard or within your home. They must not be allowed to bark all night or cause a nuisance to your neighbors. They must also be on a leash at all times when not in a contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s responsibility to keep ALL areas of the community FREE from pet debris when walking your pets. Please remember that cats must also be confined.

Remember that all pets should always wear a collar with ID tag! Pet owners should also consider pet microchips for identification in case your pet looses their collar/ID tag.
