Scoop Your Poop!

We have noticed an increase of pet owners who are not picking up after their pets. It is imperative to clean up pet waste for a number of reasons:
It keeps the community looking nice.
New puppies can contract an illness called Parvo through waste
Humans can contract diseases such as Salmonella and Giardia
Nobody likes stepping in disregarded pet waste!
And...IT KEEPS THE COMMUNITY LOOKING NICE!!
Any residents reported to the leasing office for not picking up after their pets will be assesed a clean up fine.
If you have any questions regarding our pet policy, or to report your neighbor for not picking up after their pet, please send an email with a description of the animal and owner to epm8740@epmapartments.com

December Pet of the Month

It's already December!!! Meet our very energetic Dachshund team! This is Oscar and Meyer who are very excited to be our pets of the month for December.

They love to take walks and sometimes are too quick for mom to handle. Mom also has to watch out when it's treat time because Oscar takes his time to enjoy his treat, but then Meyer sneaks around to steal it from him after he's already inhaled his own.

If you see them out on property you will definately know because these two are so much fun and so very loveable!

**If you want your pet to be Pet of the Month, please send an email with a picture and short biography to: kbrender@epmapartments.com**
