167 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Grosse Pointe Farms used to be where the rich and famous of Old Detroit chose to make their homes, back in the glory days of the auto industry. The auto industry executives loved the ideal combining lakefront living along Lake St. Clair, with easy access to downtown Detroit. Today, Grosse Pointe Farms is a little more accessible to average joes than it used to be, but you can still sense the old money heritage in the well-maintained, tree-lined streets. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is the fact that Grosse Pointe Farms has an awesome location, especially if you work in downtown Detroit. Lakefront living close to the city? Sign us up.

Finding an apartment in Grosse Pointe Farms 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.
