Jasper County -- home of Carl Junction, Missouri -- was inhabited by the Osage Native American tribe after an 1808 treaty ceded its lands to the United States. Because the land stretched between the Missouri, Mississippi, and Arkansas rivers, the tribe called itself the "Children of the Middle Waters."
Carl Junction, population 7,445 (according to the 2010 U.S. Census) is located in the southwestern corner of the state of Missouri and is a part of the great Joplin, Missouri, area. The site of a former lead mine (and before that, a trading post), Carl Junction got its name from a German immigrant and was situated at the junction of the Joplin and Girard railways.

Finding an apartment in Carl Junction 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.
