Any member who wishes to bring a pet to Escher must understand our '''pet policy'''. This policy ensures that non-pet-owner needs are respected, especially for members with pet allergies. In the absence of a more specific house standing rule (which may be adopted or changed from time to time), section Section 2.8 of the [https://icc.coop/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Escher-House-Constitution.pdf Escher Constitution] states our minimum house requirements:
* The pet policy is reviewed every three years in conjunction with the ICC Membership Committee (now the Operations Committee) according to [https://icc.coop/my-membership/governance/standing-rules/ ICC Standing Rule] 12.4 (the constitution listed 8.4, but it seems the ICC re-organized its standing rules).
* Cats may be allowed in large singles in Russell and Karma.
* No dogs are allowed in the house.
These minimum requirements may be supplemented by a more specific house standing rule, which may be changed from time to time. As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to ask house [[officers]] about any pet-related standing rules beyond those listed above.
In addition to these Escher-specific requirements, [https://icc.coop/my-membership/governance/standing-rules/ ICC Standing Rule] section 12.4 lays out further rules that must be followed across all co-op houses. These include aquarium size limits, acceptable pet behavior, and other important details. Keep in mind that pet owners are also subject to an additional monthly charge per ICC rules.
