Arriving with pets

Pets are allowed in houses and most apartments (not in dormitories, nor in the Neuqua apartments) under the following conditions:

1. You must register your pet with the Housing Office and sign a document that states that you will be responsible for keeping your animal under control at all times.

2. If your pet is a dog or cat, you must have in your possession a valid pet license and a recent Rabies Vaccination Certificate.

3. You are responsible for picking up and properly disposing of all animal waste - both inside and outside.

If you are arriving at Fermilab looking for a home to live in with your pet but need to spend some time at the village dorms while you find it, you may need to find a short term housing for your pet. There are several places offering boarding for pets around the lab, but not all of them offer service for all pets. Some of them may require that you supply them with the food for you pet and will have vaccination requirements as well. Here we list a few that are closest to the site.
