Answer
Dear Tyler,
Yes, there are pets at Ananda Village. A number of Village residents have cats just as you do.
We do however have a restriction against dogs. This is not because we don’t appreciate them, but rather because of the effect dogs have in our environment, especially in regards to the wildlife, such as the deer.
