Orange Beach, AL

36 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Orange Beach is a city in Baldwin County, Alabama and is the most eastern community on the Alabama Gulf Coast. If you head just a little too far east you'll be in Florida's Perdido Key. To the west is the more well-known beach community of Gulf Shores, Alabama. There are about 5,400 permanent residents in Orange Beach as of the 2010 census. With about fourteen and half square miles of dry land, this makes for some pretty spread out living. But, everyone wants to be on the beach because this beach is among the most beautiful in the world. The sand is a beautiful white variety because it is mostly made up of quartz grains that were, believe it or not, washed down out of the Appalachian Mountains. Of course, this happened thousands of years ago, but what luck for you now! Who needs the Caribbean when the coast of Alabama is so gorgeous? See more

Finding an apartment in Orange Beach that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
