• THE JOY OF OWNING A PET •
PET OWNERSHIP
And, what to do about a problem animal in our neighborhood
Your Pets
We welcome pets at Frisco Ridge. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters add to the quality of our lives and their love and loyalty make us happy. There are very few rules pertaining to pet ownership at Frisco Ridge.
Basically, each residence is limited to two cats, dogs or similar domestic animals. We simply ask that you make sure your pet(s) is/are not a nuisance to your neighbors. If your dog is barking repeatedly, please bring it inside. You never know what hours a neighbor works and sleeps.
Keep your pets in a fenced-in area so they cannot roam the neighborhood. When you take them for a walk, please keep them on a leash. Your dog may seem friendly and unthreatening to you, but it may be frightening to a child or someone who has had a bad experience with a dog in the past. Please practice common courtesy. And finally, commercial breeding is not allowed.

What to Do if Your Neighbor’s Dog Keeps Barking
First, we recommend speaking to your neighbor about it: perhaps they aren’t paying attention. If it continues, document the dates and times. Then report it to the Yukon Police Dept by calling their NON-emergency number: 405.354.2553. The police will give a warning and eventually fines and restrictions may be imposed. They take it pretty seriously.
How to Report a Loose Dog
All dogs must be on a leash in our neighborhood or under voice control within sight of the owner. If you see a loose dog and know who it belongs to, please start by contacting the owner. Express your concern. It is not only for the safety of residents, but also the animal. If the dog is off the leash more than three times, the Yukon Animal Control Shelter will get involved. Call 405 354-6312.
How to Report a Stray Dog
If you see a stray dog, call the City of Yukon Animal Control Shelter at 405 354-6312 during business hours. They will come and pick up the dog or lend you a trap so you can bring it in. The Animal Control Shelter will also remove deceased animals, including those in public areas. Lost dogs and cats are often captured by the Animal Control Shelter and they will hold the animals for up to five days.
How to Report Pet Abuse
