ANIMAL POLICY

For health and safety reasons, pets are NOT permitted at Gulf Wars. Please make arrangements for your pets elsewhere. Individuals who bring unapproved animals to Gulf Wars will have two options. One will be to find boarding arrangements off-site for their pets. The second option will be to leave with no refund.

Other than coursing hounds, horses and service animals, the only animals allowed on site will be for official classes and competitions. Owners must assure their animals are in good health and will be required to provide proof of appropriate vaccines. Please contact the Animal Coordinator with your particulars for written approval. Waivers will be signed for all animals.

For greyhound coursing contact (Need updated contact here), and for Equestrian contact Chiere wreic Maredudd(need updated contact here). Approved animals will be camped on the grounds on the pond side of the main hall or between the pond and back gate. No animals other than service animals will be allowed to camp in any other locations.

SERVICE ANIMALS

As per the ADA.gov site Gulf Wars defines a Service Animal as: any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.

We request that all service animals be pre-registered with the Autocrat and their owner/handler contact the Autocrat, Master Gottfried, upon arrival on site. Owner/handler must have a copy of their Rabies certificate with their Vet's name, address and phone number at Troll for registration. Rabies tags will not be accepted as proof of vaccination.

Service animals will not be left unattended at any time. Animals must be on a leash at all times with owner/handler in attendance unless it is in a turn-out pen with owner/handler in attendance. If the animal's/dogs behavior is disruptive or destructive, you will be asked to remove it from the premises.

Each service animal owner/handler must sign a waiver. All owners/handlers of non-service animals must be pre-registered and contact the Autocrat.
