We have had a few recent complaints
from residents who have had
uncomfortable encounters with
dogs off leash around
the property. We are
reaching out to our
residents to remind them
of our rules concerning
keeping dogs on leashes and cleaning pet litter. As a
resident of Boca Pointe you must: Keep your dog on a
Leash. All dogs must be controlled on a leash by an able-
bodied person, at all times, whenever the dog is on property.
Also, you must clean up and properly dispose of pet waste
when your pet relieves itself. Knowing and abiding by our
community’s animal-related ordinances will help make our
neighborhood a better place for everyone. Thank you! 
