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. Animal Control can be reached at 281-999-3191.

If you happen to come across vicious dogs, or ANY loose dogs of this nature, please contact your local Animal Control at 281-999-3191. If you are familiar with the property address the pets belong to, please feel free to submit that information to PCMI – Kaye Follie [email protected] – to pursue

the deed restriction violation. Notification and ample time must be given to the owner to correct the violation prior to any further pursuit by the Association.
