Saks, AL

3 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The name Saks might make you think of an upscale department store. In reality, however, Saks is a small suburb of Anniston, Alabama, which is also a suburb of larger Birmingham, just to the west. Saks is home to about 10,800 people, and it's officially considered part of the Anniston metropolitan area. If you're looking to live in a place that feels like a quiet, charming southern town, but that has easy access to a nearby big city, then you should choose Saks. Not only does it have friendly people and tons of suburban amenities, it also has a great selection of pet friendly apartments, hi rise apartments, or any rental home of your choosing! See more

Finding an apartment in Saks 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.
