Agawam Town, MA

22 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The mid size town of Agawam Town is home to a little over 28,000 people. Agawam is part of the Springfield Metropolitan area and is thus part of the Knowledge Corridor, an area very well known. Anne Sullivan, teacher to Helen Keller, was born in the Feeding Hills neighborhood of Agawam Town. With beautiful spring and summer weather that makes being outdoors a joy, and the stereotypical New England autumns that bring in droves of leaf watchers, this area has abundant natural beauty and outdoor activities. Winter is in a class by itself, as the snowy days are made for postcards (unless, of course, you hate snow). See more

Finding an apartment in Agawam Town 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.
