Pet Agreement

The purpose of this pet agreement is to provide an understanding of your responsibility to the neighbors, the property, and your pet. Should the following be practiced, it is certain that all involved will experience a pleasant stay.

In Arizona, your dog should be always on a leash. No dog shall be permitted at large. Dog owners are often unaware of the Arizona laws that require taking proper measures to restrain your pet to protect others from potential harm that can arise out of your dog’s actions.

An animal is always regarded as being “at large” when it is off its owner’s premises, without a leash, and without a person to control the animal,

The following information is for direction and compliance:

Breeds of dogs prohibited from being on the Show Grounds are Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Rottweiler, Chows and Wolf or any mixture thereof.
The Leash Law always prevails on the property. No turning loose of animals to fend for themselves, such as in mornings, opening of door to let your pet relieve itself unattended. No throwing of toys, sticks, balls, etc. within show grounds. Pets may be tied outside the unit if you are home, and the pet is confined to your space. The first time your pet is found outside without being on a leash you will receive a warning.
There is a limit of two pets per site.
Pets will be kept inside your unit after 10:00 pm. No pet will be tied outside the unit and left unattended at any time. Remember coyotes love small animals.
Keep pets off neighbor’s lots.
We do expect you to always keep your pet’s noise under control. Please have consideration for your neighbors.
Aggressive behavior by your pets will result in termination of your stay.
Pets are not permitted in any buildings.
Any person found not adhering to our pet rules will be asked to leave our show.
The owner is responsible for the pet at all times. BE CONSIDERATE * ASK YOURSELF
Is MY pet capable of picking up its droppings? If not, please pick it up and dispose of the droppings in the nearest trash receptacle.
Weight of pet must not exceed 25 pounds.
Ensure your pet does not disturb other tenants in any way.
Assistive animals must be registered with the manager.
Proof of all vaccinations must be provided.
Management reserves the right to refuse space to anyone whose pet does not meet the above requirements.

I Hereby agree to abide by the pet rules set forth by the management of Desert Gardens Holdings, LLC and understand that my failure to comply with these rules will result in my leaving the property with no refund.

Five Reasons to Obey Leash Laws

It is the law
When your dog is under your control—like on a leash—the dog is less likely to get into something he is not supposed to
Just because your dog is friendly does not mean every dog is friendly
Not everyone is physically able to withstand a dog jumping on them, even a nice dog
People have the right to walk in a public place without being confronted by loose dogs
