18 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Found along the banks of the Hudson River roughly about halfway between New York City and Albany is the little hamlet of Fairview, New York, Just on the north side of Poughkeepsie, it's part of that town for statistical purposes, and on the upper edge of the greater New York City megalopolis. Almost 6,000 people call the census designated place home. The first pioneer settlements in this part of the state date back to the late 1600s and the region is chock full of history. Long before those settlers arrived, Native American tribes plied the waters of the Hudson for trade and fishing. The Wappinger Indians were part of the Algonquin Federation and it's their language that gave name to the town of Poughkeepsie. It was a more English- based naming for the hamlet of Fairview, obviously! The former was the first capital of the state of New York and held that title from 1777 through 1783. The latter is a nice mix of residential housing, green space, retail shops and rental apartments. See more

Finding an apartment in Fairview 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.
