18 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The city of Molalla, even though the name may seem to have Hawaiian connotations, is located in Clackamas County, Oregon. It's situated within the foothills of the Cascade Range, which is near Mount Hood National Forest, some 15 miles to the south of Oregon City. Due to its proximity to Oregon City and the world-class city of Portland, it's an attractive, easygoing town where many commuters choose to take up residence. Molalla is surrounded by farmlands and rural residential development. The economy is driven by the thousands of acres of timberlands surrounding the city. Many of the tree farms are maintained with a philosophy of sustainable forestry. There are plenty of trails in the area for those who enjoy hiking, walking or cycling, so there's absolutely no reason for a couch potato mentality. See more

Finding an apartment in Molalla 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.
