So.. I heard that Serra Mesa residents got a notice on there doors saying they were only allowed one dog, and that if you are a violator you need to only have one dog immediately or animal control will be contacted. I'm just curious what animal control would really do if these people didn't give away there animal. I understand it's the rules but honestly it's just not right, and soooooo many people have two dogs. What's stupid is everywhere else is two dogs, and if you move into serra mesa they give you a paper packet and in there is says base law is two dogs. so I just don't get it. My friend is apparently about to get her dogs taken away. 

They will take the dog away. My friend had it happened. I would either consider moving or find a friend that could after the dog for awhile. She can also get fines and really extreme chases can get kicked out of housing (I hadn't known everyone who has gotten kicked off but I read if you break 3 rules your done). Good luck
It's a stupid rule but it is a rule. Maybe it's because the apts are so small. 

Did your friends move in knowing there was a one dog limit, or did the "paper packet" they receive lead them to believe they could have more than one dog? If they knew they were breaking the rules, then I don't feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for the dog(s) they may lose. Stupid or not, rules are rules, and unfortunately you can't just choose to break the "stupid" ones. 

Lincoln Housing Serra Mesa

From Lincoln Housing's Serra Mesa Overview Page:

Serving E1 to E3. Serra Mesa is a 1 dog only (35 lb maximum weight limit) community.
 

Oh, and the hot sheet gives the same information.

I really dislike when anyone thinks rules only apply to other people.

Ain't that the truth? 

Yeah people feel the way they feel. But I'm asking what animal control would do on people's personal experience?2 

Animal control will confiscate the extra animal(s).

A family with more than the allowable number of animals is in violation of their lease.

They have 2 options:

1) MOVE
2) Give up the extra pet(s) 

Can animal control enter the persons home without them opening the door. 

* head - desk * 

It is a simple question, rude remarks are not welcome = ):' 

i dont think its a stupid rule. i live in de luz and you can have 1 dog that is up to 50 lbs or 2 dogs that equal 50 lbs and alot of people dnt think the rules apply to them just like alot of people think they dont have 2 clean up after there dogs. as for serra mesa, at least you can even have one dog when my husband and i lived there we couldnt have a dog at all. 

Wouldn't be easier for them to just follow the rules rather than playing hide and seek with animal control? What a way to live! 

yes they can enter the home with with housing. 

It's not the fact of following the rules, it's that your just expected to give your animal away like they don't mean anything to you. To some people animals are like there children. 

i really dont see why you wouldnt just give up the extra pet insted of risking getting kicked out all together 

There are always addendums in leases for inspections etc. I am sure there is a route Lincoln has established for pet inspection to happen and then they'll authorize animal control. 

How can you get evicted in the military? Higher ups are just going to let there marines be homeless? 

ya but it would be different if they told you that you could only have one child and had to get rid of the extras. if the pet means so much why not move somewhere you can have it rather than chance getting kicked out 

It's not the fact of following the rules, it's that your just expected to give your animal away like they don't mean anything to you. To some people animals are like there children. 

It's absolutely the fact of following the rules. If their dogs are like "THEIR children" they shouldn't have put themselves in a position to possibly be in this predicament. 

If they are like family to them shouldn't they have picked proper housing? The pet policy for each housing is clearly stated in the pet addendum for each neighborhood. 

Higher ups expect their marines to follow rules. 

How can you get evicted in the military? Higher ups are just going to let there marines be homeless? 

Why would they be homeless? Move off base to a place where they can have more than one dog. Just how many freakin' dogs do they have? 

There are plenty of empty homes in WM. you could move here. 

Military housing is a privllage not a right if you don't follow the rules and have been warned more then once you don't get that privllage anymore. It's that simple. There are other apts off base that take two dogs and rent is pretty cheap they would just have to look. 

A lot of places you have to be higher than e-3. & you pay a lot out of pocket to move while waiting for your BAH to return to your from lincoln military 

& almost everywhere else on base besides stuart mesa you get no bah back.. 

You can't have it all. You have to choose what is most important to you. Is it having 2 dogs, or is it the money? 

It's not the fact of following the rules, it's that your just expected to give your animal away like they don't mean anything to you

If they followed the rules to begin with, and moved into a housing area where 2 animals were allowed, they (you) wouldn't be having this issue. 

Those places in Serra Mesa are too small for dogs.

Every house i've been to over there that has dogs is trashed, stinks and is disgusting.
