Today, Portales is one of the country's largest producers of Valencia peanuts, and specializes in certified organic peanut butter production.
Portales is the hometown of Deliverance actor Ronny Cox, as well as science fiction writer Jack Williamson. Michael Blake, author of Dances With Wolves, attended Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. Originally called "Llano Estacado" or "stalked planes," Portales has a bountiful supply of yucca plants. Now, there are almost as many peanut plants in the area as yucca. Dairy farms and dairy solids production also offers job opportunities in the area, as well as yummy eats. But aside from yummy eats, Portales offers a comfortable pace of living with plenty of activities like community events and outdoor spaces for you to enjoy. See more
Finding an apartment in Portales 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.
