Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel. The town had to sleep, and I was feelin' fairly well. I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees. I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze. -- from "Starkville City Jail" by Johnny Cash
Wherefore art thou Starkville, Mississippi? Oh, yes, you are only a few hoots away from the western state line of Alabama and some hollers from Interstate 55, with Highway 82 connecting both. Starkville advertises itself as "Mississippi's College Town" for a very good reason: it's the home of Mississippi State University (MSU.) But wait! There's more than meets the eye. The city is a great mix of historic Downtown, Main Street businesses, restaurants, and arts and culture, all delivered with Southern flair. See more
Finding an apartment in Starkville 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.
