Pets

Full or mixed breeds of Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and Canid/Wolf hybrids are prohibited aboard Marine Corps Installations. In the absence of formal breed identification (e.g., certification by a civilian organization such as the American kennel Club) a determination of "majority breed" will be made by a Veterinary Corps Officer (VCO) or a civilian veterinarian.

Certification must be provided to the Family Housing Office along with the proof of registration prior to referral of the housing application to Liberty Military Housing for placement on the family housing waiting list.

All dogs and cats must be registered with local Veterinary Treatment Facility (VTF) with proof of registration submitted to the local Family Housing Office, prior to entry to family housing units. Proof of registration will consist of civilian or military veterinarian certification of required vaccinations and a functioning microchip identification device. 

Vaccination and microchip implantation services will be procured at the owner's expense for all cats and dogs, regardless of breed at the local VTF or via commercial veterinary medical service providers, but certification must be made by the installation Veterinary Treatment Facility (VTF). Microchips will be International Standards Organization (ISO) compatible to help facilitate overseas travel.

There remains no mandate or requirement to house GBs. The Installation Commanding Officer will determine the capability to support GBs on a space available basis.  Only GBs in ranks E1 through E9 shall be housed in facilities under Category Code 72111 (Unaccompanied Enlisted Housing) on a no cost basis.  GBs with a rank of O1 and above shall not be housed in unaccompanied housing facilities.  GBs should be in consolidated facilities (by building, wing, floor, etc.) where feasible to enable complete and consistent oversight of all GBs, as well as limit risk of GBs forfeiting BAH if housed in rooms that exceed minimum UH standards.

Currently there are the below in Bldg. 7102

• E1 through E9 who stay at no cost.
• O1 and above that stay at no cost – approved by the CO
• Space available for incoming GBs
• Personnel on the first deck are being moved to the second deck to remodel first deck for base requirement.
