Although first settled in the mid 1700s, it was not until the arrival of the railroad in the late 19th Century that life in Waxhaw, North Carolina, really took off. During World War I and World War II, Waxhaw played an important role as a supply town that manufactured the textiles used to make soldiers' uniforms. Today, Waxhaw is home to about 10,000 residents and is quickly becoming a popular town, since it provides small-town charm and a short 15-minute commute to Charlotte. See more

Finding an apartment in Waxhaw 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.
