Both the housing brochure and paragraph 5.4 of the Ellsworth Specific Pet Policy document, viewable on the base housing website (http://www.ellsworth.af.mil/ellsworthhousing.asp) under "Additional Housing Resources" state: "Housing occupants are authorized a maximum of two pets (canine, feline, or one of each). You can have birds, aquarium fish, and small domesticated rodents (i.e., hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs). Residents may not board exotic animals such as, but not limited to, reptiles, rodents (other than hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs), ferrets, hedgehogs, skunks, rats, raccoons, squirrels, pot bellied pigs, monkeys, arachnids, or any farm animal."
This policy applies to current military family housing (Rushmore Estates and Prairie View) until privatized. The policy after privatization will be set by the project owner. For Centennial Estates, please refer to your lease agreement or contact the Centennial Rental Office at (605) 791-3181.
If you feel you truly have a unique situation, please submit your request in writing to the housing office for considerations.
