Havelock, NC

12 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located in between the historical city of New Bern and North Carolina's pristine Crystal Coast, Havelock, North Carolina, is a small community that continues to enjoy steady growth. Home of Cherry Point, the largest Marine Corp Air Station in the world, and the second Marine Aircraft Wing, Havelock balances civilian life with its robust military presence. Unlike other military cities in the United States, Havelock's growth is due more to its location, affordable housing and wealth of outdoor activities enjoyed by both civilians and military personnel, rather than its military-based economic infrastructure. In other words, you don't have to be named Maverick, Ice Man or Goose to enjoy all that Havelock has to offer, and volleyball montages are optional. See more

Finding an apartment in Havelock 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.
