9 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

But don't look for any real-life Ghostbusters here. The residents of this scenic and historic town, that was once a stop for hundreds of wagon trains on their way to the California Gold Rush, seem to like their ghosts. So much so that they run regular trolley tours of the local haunted houses and delight in telling ghost stories to any who will listen. One of the Travel Channel's most popular shows focused on the unofficial residents!

In 2010, the official census put the population at 11,021 and with a growth rate over the last decade of 8.4%, Atchison is growing, but not by leaps. This is America's Heartland, and you'll definitely know you're in Kansas when you move here. For a time Atchison was the eastern end of the line for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail line. The train, however, kept on moving west! See more

Finding an apartment in Atchison 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.
