We have birds of every description, raccoons, deer, seals, otters and a cat. The cat is to be considered wild. Fixed, but no "human" manners.

Personal Pets

Pets are not encouraged at Hopkins. Undergrads - NO PETS.
Everyone else a few rules:

  • Dogs must be on a leash at all times and cannot be in any of the labs. Dogs are not allowed to play on the beaches as they disturb the seals and other protected wildlife. [$500 fine if caught]

  • Do not bring your cat, too many dogs. Problems will be numerous.

  • Fish, hamster, mice, etc. ARE allowed IF and ONLY IF they are NEVER USED IN RESEARCH! And remain in their tanks/cages and the tank/cage is not in the lab. Put them in your office or conference area.
