Animals On Campus

General Guidelines:
Our organization is an animal-friendly community, and employees or congregants may occasionally bring friendly pets to church when prior notice has been given and arrangements have been made with church staff.
Rental tenants, including preschools, may have classroom pets under their supervision.
Foothills retains the right to deem any animal unsuitable for being on site for any reason at any time. 
Aggressive Behavior:
Any animal with a history of aggressive behavior, including biting or causing harm, is not permitted on-site.
If an animal exhibits aggressive behavior while on-site, it must be removed immediately, and a review will be conducted to determine if the animal can return.
Leashing and Supervision:
All dogs must be leashed in open and common spaces, both indoors and outdoors.
Dogs may be unleashed only within closed spaces that are under the direct control of the owner or responsible party.
Rental tenants may choose to have their pets unleashed in their closed spaces, but they are solely responsible for their pets' behavior and any incidents that may occur.
Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up any disturbances or waste produced by their pet while on the premises. 
Responsibility and Liability:
Owners are responsible for the behavior and well-being of their animals at all times.
Any incidents involving animals, such as bites or aggressive behavior, must be reported immediately to the appropriate authority within the organization.
Rental tenants are responsible for ensuring that their animals do not pose a risk to other individuals and must adhere to this policy.
Any pet allowed on the premises should be fully up to date on required vaccines.
Incident Response:
In the event of an incident involving an animal, such as a bite, the animal must be removed from the premises immediately.
A review will be conducted to assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action, including whether the animal can return to the site.
Enforcement: Non-compliance with this policy will result in appropriate actions, which may include restricting the presence of the animal on-site, disciplinary measures for employees, or termination of rental agreements for tenants. The safety and well-being of all individuals on-site are of utmost importance, and strict adherence to this policy is required to maintain a safe and harmonious environment.
