Surprise, surprise! Shirley, New York isn't named after a woman, but for developer Walter T. Shirley, who realized his dream of making the community a haven of affordable housing options.
With a small, cozy feel, Shirley is the place for those who prefer life in a tight-knit community. Interestingly, Shirley is not a city, village, or town. Instead, this little community, home to just under 30,000 people, is a hamlet. This might conjure images of Shakespearean melodrama, but the enclave actually has quite a bit going for itself, not least of which is a price tag far lower than New York City's. See more
Finding an apartment in Shirley 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.
