276 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located in Clackamas County in the southeast suburbs of Portland, Oregon, is this community of just over 13,000. Situated north of Gladstone and west of the city of Clackamas, Oatfield isn't an incorporated town but rather a Census Designated Place within the county. Mostly on a river plain to the east of the Willamette River, it's not as hilly as much of the greater Portland area. In 2015, the latest line in the metro light rail, known as MAX, joins the system with a stop nearby. The region offers myriad recreational opportunities and a strong economy. See more

Finding an apartment in Oatfield 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.
