Keep Your Pet
This is a comprehensive website providing solutions to the common reasons people surrender their pets. It includes subjects like Medical, Behavioral, Family Dynamics, Senior Support and Vet Costs.
Our common goal with the site is to help people keep their pet(s) as an important part of the family because, as we all know, the more pets that stay in their homes, the less stress we'll see in local animal shelters. This will allow us to keep more of the animals in our care happy, healthy and, eventually, home.

Anyone seeking a rental that allows pets are :
(1) make sure your pet acceptance is IN THE LEASE and if it's a large dog make sure that "large dog" and/or breed name is in the lease
(2) when applying be sure to let them know about training titles your dog has. Get a Canine Good Citizen on your dog and educate management as to this being a test of the dog being well behaved.
(3) let management know your pet is S/N and locally licensed and UTD on vaccinations.
(4) if your pet is legitimately a Disability Assistance Dog, let management know that, and have a copy of the Americans With Disabilities Act section on that with you to show them.
(5) if necessary, offer an added Security Deposit equal to 1 month rent (or less), but bargain for this to be refunded after 6 months if the pet has not caused any problems. any apt that advertises as "pet friendly" should not require this, but with those not so offering , it might be a decision maker.
Of course once you are a tenant, be a model tenant who is a delight to management. pay your rent on time, don't make any trouble, don't let your pet make any trouble. be courteous to other tenants and especially respect any who may be afraid of dogs by detouring around them.
