Animal Control
Maximum of two pets, dogs or cats, in any combination are authorized per household (as stated in FB Reg 40-5, Sept 2003). FERRETS, RATS and EXOTIC PETS are not allowed on post.
All pets on post must be kept under control at all times. Pets must be kept indoors or secured on the owner's premises. Pets may be secured with a tether or a chain no longer than 15 feet in length or may be kept in a fenced area within the owners promises. If animals are tethered or chained they must be limited to a boundary not less than four feet from common user rights-of-way (e.g. sidewalks, streets). They must not be secured to trees, shrubbery, or any government property.
Owners must provide proper shelter from the weather when housing animals outdoors. The shelter shall be a moisture-proof and windproof structure. The size must accommodate the entire body of the pet to allow it to stand up, turn around, and allow retention of body heat. The shelter must be made of durable material with a solid floor raised at least two inches from the ground. The entrance shall be covered by a flexible windproof material, self-closing swinging door, or wind baffle.
Animals kept outdoors must be provided shelter, fresh water, and food. Owners keeping animals under inhumane conditions may be refused the right to keep animals on post and may be subject to UCMJ action under article 134. It is the owner's responsibility to locate escaped animals. Animal control will not search for your animal for you.

PCSing Overseas
1. Contact the VTF as soon as you are notified that you are PCSing to find out what your pet needs prior to departure. *Be sure to ask about shipping and quarantine requirements; some countries have strict import requirements and may require more than six months preparation time to ensure that all requirements can be met and health certificates issued on time.* Overseas Requirements
2. Schedule appointments for required testing, vaccinations, microchipping and health certificates. ** Please note that if you use a civilian veterinarian to obtain a health certificate or are going to the UK or Australia, the health certificate must be co-signed by the USDA Veterinarian in Raleigh, which takes extra time, so you will need to plan accordingly.
3. Pick up your pet's records when PCSing to your next duty station. If you no longer own the pet please notify the VTF so your record can be properly disposed of.
