Our Pets

No animals of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept within Sonara at Malibu Bay for commercial purposes. Otherwise, Owners may keep domestic pets as permitted by Miami‐Dade County ordinances up to a limit of two (2) such pets and otherwise in accordance with the Rules and Regulations established by the Board from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pets may be kept or harbored in a home only so long as such pets or animals do not constitute a nuisance. A determination by the Board that an animal or pet kept or harbored in a Home is a nuisance shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. All pets shall be walked on a leash. No pet shall be permitted outside a home unless such pet is kept on a leash or within an enclosed portion of the yard of a home, as approved by the ACC. No pet or animal shall be "tied out" on the exterior of the Home or in the Common Areas, or left unattended in a yard or on a balcony, porch, or patio. No dog runs or enclosures shall be permitted on any Home. When notice of removal of any pet is given by the Board, the pet shall be removed within forty‐eight (48) hours of the giving of the notice. The person walking the pet or the Owner shall clean up all matter created by the pet. Each Owner shall be responsible for the activities of its pet. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, seeing‐eye dogs shall not be governed by the restrictions contained in this Section.
