Damascus, OR

130 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Damascus is a sprawling city covering 16.14 square miles in the state of Oregon. It is part of Clackamas County, standing on what was then the Foster-Barlow Road, an extension of the historic Oregon Trail. Its cityhood is relatively young, incorporated in 2004 but as a community it dates back to the mid-1800s. The installation of a post office stirred the sleepy town and this spot later became the community center. Damascus is the only proclaimed new city in Oregon after 22 years, and this cityhood annexed the community of Carver to it. From old farming and fishery, the main industries today include tourism, arts, manufacturing and services. See more

Finding an apartment in Damascus 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.
