There have been two pet related lawsuits and a two biting incidents at "The Lakes" in the last 20 years. The Association is encouraging all residents to work together - pet owners to be responsible with their pets and non-pet owners to be accepting of pet companions as part of our community.

The dog involved in the incident was a small white dog (Coton de Tulear) who was on a leash at the time of the incident. The pet will be re-evaluated in one year to see if the limitations can be released.
