Can you get kicked out of Navy housing if they find out that you have an extra animal ?

Question

I have rescued the puppy and am trying to find a good home for her, but so far I have not .

Some of my neighbors have been here for almost a year , and they have not gotten in trouble.

Answer 1

If your really worried, write a letter to the Commander of the base, I believe that's who I wrote a letter to, explaining the situation, also put in that this new puppy is beginning to grow on you, that way if you keep it you'll be covered. I had three animals and when we got to this base, the housing office told me just to write a letter explaining how long we had the animals and they were a part of the family, all went well. Call the housing office first, I believe I took the letter to housing and they gave it to the big guy in charge, then they mailed a copy to me.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how it is in Navy housing, but in the Marine Corps housing, you're allowed one dog and one cat. Alot of people do have more than one a piece, but that's a risk you have to decide if it's worth. Can they kick you out? Yes. Living in base housing is a privilege, not a right. But if they do kick you out of housing, you could get something off the base that doesn't limit the amount of animals you can have. If you are just trying to find a new home for the dog, you could take the dog to the local shelter, they are more equipped at finding homes for animals. If the dog is still a puppy, it has a very good chance of being taken. If you don't want to do that, place an ad in the base or local paper. Chances are, you'll be able to find the dog a good home very quickly.

This has happened to my co-worker in Hawaii. They came for emergency repair on a broken water main, saw the dogs and reported it to the Navy Housing. Because it was privatized housing not the real Navy Housing what most places are going to now, they told her she would have to get rid of one of the dogs but not until she found an adequate home for it. With in reason. She got it a new home 3 weeks later, Navy housing did not care. They are allowed 1 per house.
If you are not allowed pets at that place then I would say no, not at all. But if you are allowed a pet or what not, i say go ahead and keep it till you can find it a home.

base housing is tough! not to mention they come in with out notice to inspect. It's not like you will be able to hide an extra animal. what's more important an animal or a home? not to mention animals are the main complaint they have when you clear housing. They usually will charge you around 800 to 1000 bucks to replace the carpet. Even if you think it's clean or you have it cleaned.

Answer 5

If your husband is in the Navy, and you are not, I would spare him the disparagement of being evicted from base housing, and get rid of the extra animal. Military housing agreements are the toughest in the country.

Answer 6

no they wont kick you out unless if you have had prior problems. they will first give you a notice telling you to get rid of one of the animals, if you dont comply then they will kick you out. but honestly, as long as you dont call it to their attention, they probably wont even notice, just keep it hush hush until you find the puppy a good home.

Answer 7

Absolutely

Answer 8

technically..yes, you can. Does it happen often? who knows. There are plenty of people who flagrantly disregard the rules and get away with it out there on some bases, and then there are other bases where they crack down hard.

Answer 9

If you are in violation of on post housing rules then yes you can...and do not worry about your neighbors...worry about you and your family.

Answer 10

Are you putting the restriction to the test?
