2 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Branson owes its entrepreneurial and showmanship history to William Henry Lynch who in 1894 purchased Marvel Cave and began charging visitors to tour it. Subsequent owners Hugo and Mary Herschend expanded the attraction and opened Silver Dollar City, a recreation of a frontier town. While you don't have to be a performer in one of the many entertainment theaters along 76 Country Boulevard and Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, it certainly helps to have an appreciation for the wholesome, almost kitschy shows that dominate Branson's entertainment calendar. Many stars such as Tennessee Ernie Ford, Roy Clark, Mel Tillis and Ray Stevens have or had their own theater in Branson. Still others have performed regularly in one of the town's many live music venues including country stars Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn and Vern Gosdin, and music giants like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy Osborne and Def Leppard.

Finding an apartment in Branson 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.
