Global Traveling

Since we are in the aging of America, many baby boomers have pets for companions. It is said that seniors live longer, happier, healthier lives with a pet.

Most communities or developments do consider themselves as pet retirement communities. What does this mean? In general, it means that pets are o.k. to have and are not prohibited. However, depending where you live, in a pet retirement community, there may be restrictions on the pet you own. For example, you may not be allowed to own Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, or dogs weighing over a certain weight. Your pet friendly communities or development has what are called ‘Docs’ or Documents that do have restrictions listed.

The pet friendly retirement communities you choose may have a certain area that is dedicated to a pet park. There may also be restrictions on where you can walk your pet. Be sure to carry all the paraphernalia needed to poop-a-scoop.

* a deposit to cover pet related damages.
* insurance against dog bites
