126 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Sitting pretty on top of Lake Minnetonka about 15 miles from Minneapolis, Orono offers the true American lifestyle to those hungry for friendly neighbors, plentiful recreational opportunities and a full spectrum of seasons. Residents here aren't slouches; they work hard and play hard, enjoying golf, boating and tasty eats all within a stone's throw of home, and they can zip over to Minneapolis for big city adventures or a 9-5 with limited traffic and a lovely view. It's true that the winters here are pretty brutal, but it wouldn't be an All-American Town if it didn't require a little rugged spirit to survive. But even the cold averse will quickly come to see that the benefits far outweigh any chilly disadvantages as they breathe in the fresh air and make lasting friendships in this charming little city by the water.

Finding an apartment in Orono 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.
