Silver Springs Shores, FL

162 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Silver Springs Shores is an area with just 6,500 residents, spread over about 4.8 square miles. Unlike most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores is inland. It gets its name from Spring Lake and Lake Sparkle, both found in the center of town. While this town lacks the ocean views found in most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores has something that much of the area does not -- access to beautiful, natural landscapes, courtesy of the Cross Florida Greenway and the Ocklawaha Prairie Restoration area.

Finding an apartment in Silver Springs Shores 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.
