"Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum." (-Vera Farmiga)
West Seneca, New York is close to lots of cool places, such as Buffalo (origin of the ubiquitous wing), Toronto (origin of poutine--well, that’s from Quebec technically, but it’s from Canada, so that has to count for something) and Pennsylvania (hello, cheesesteaks?), but it’s not anywhere near that famous sleepless city that’s also compared to a food item. No, upstate New York is a world away from the city of New York, and that’s one of the best things about it. With pastoral landscapes and inexpensive living, it attracts people who prefer Farmers Markets to chain stores (except Wegmans), walking to driving, and others. All that and affordable rent, no wonder it’s such a hit. See more
Finding an apartment in West Seneca 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.
