Some locals may not know that although the land for Middleton was parceled out in 1863, an overflowing Boise River cut a new channel in 1872 and isolated the town on an island. The town ultimately moved to a new location in the 1880s and was incorporated as a city in 1910. Its certificate, however, wasn't issued until 1971.
Technically, Middleton is a city, and is located in Canyon County. However, its small-town feel and community vibes are most prominent. For example, most people recognize the name Sierra Jackson, who was a sprint car racer from Middleton. Ask around and most people can also tell you that Middleton is one of the oldest settlements in the state. In fact, Middleton had a stage station in the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, along with a post office in 1866 and a water powered grist mill in 1871. Although there is certainly plenty to do in Middleton, the city is also close to Boise, the state capitol and its largest city. In fact, it is just a 30 minute drive from downtown Boise. If you enjoy community events, you will have plenty of opportunities to get involved. Throughout the year, many residents attend Movies in the Park, the Harvest Festival, Push Cart Derby and other events. See more
Finding an apartment in Middleton 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.
