70 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Butler's history runs along the Pequannock River, where the Newborough Hard Rubber Company and the Pequannock Paper Company established, bringing prosperity, jobs, and population beginning in the late 19th century. Although those factories burned down, the old-school downtown remained and has many charming shops, including the ever-popular High Point Brewing Company, a full brewery which offers tours and tastings of their popular Ramstein beer. Even though Butler is only 35 miles from Manhattan, it feels like a whole other universe, filled with families in small homes and close to nature. Surrounded by Norvin Green State Forest, Pyramid Mountain and Farny State Park, it's easy to feel like you're living the country lifestyle. Silas Condict State Park, right on the edge of town, is particularly known for its outdoor recreation opportunities. And only an hour's drive to the birthplace of punk music (CBGB's) ? It's like having your cake and eating it too. See more

Finding an apartment in Butler 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.
