I think this is a pet question, not about "service animals". On that 
basis, here at RoseWind (24 households, Port Townsend WA) our pet policy 
boils down to

any number of indoor pets- no rules
max two pets who go outdoors, per household
dogs leashed or (as when playing) under voice control, but not roving 
free; scoop poop
cats can run free (though some real concern from bird lovers)
no horses, cows, etc since we really don't have room
quiet fowl or small critters like rabbits ok on private lots
no pets in common house (allergies)

We have several dogs and probably a dozen cats. We haven't had any 
problems. A barking dog, but not here anymore, and it was handled pretty 
well.
