The city has a little over 9,000 people living in it. It is currently the county seat of Jackson County, and the majority of people in the city live in medium-sized homes. The environment in Jefferson is pretty typical for a small, southern town and has its fair share of quiet, tree-lined streets lined with single-family homes. The Jefferson City Park is a great place to relax over a picnic or play a game of catch. Though the town is mostly residential, you'll find there are a few great restaurants clustered in the center of town, like the Jefferson House Restaurant, Chili Dogs and The Savory Spoon. It's located right off I-85, so you can hop on and get to Atlanta in no time if you need to head there for work or just for fun! See more

Finding an apartment in Jefferson 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.
