Spanish Lake, MO

233 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Where the Missouri River takes a hook before blending into the mighty Mighty Mississippi, you will find the Saint Louis suburb of Spanish Lake, Missouri. The actual lake that gives the town its name isn't very big -- but it is scenic. Encircled by a hiking and bike path that courses through trees, it's a great spot to spend some easy time escaping the summer heat. The farm country in the floodplain that forms the bump inside the path of the Missouri River gives a nice country contrast to the big metropolitan area on the other side. See more

Finding an apartment in Spanish Lake 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.
