80 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The first settler came to the town in 1828 at the site that is upriver from Astoria, Oregon, which was settled in 1811 and is the oldest continuous settlement on the West Coast of the United States. These days, the gravelly plain is covered with farms growing all manner of agricultural products, including luscious strawberries that can be found in fruit stands and farmers' markets all throughout the area. The town itself is at the edge of the plain, huddled up against the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains. The contrast of evergreen-covered hills and farm plain with river beyond makes for a scenic and serene valley scene. It's a town that has been influenced by natural resources for a long time. Logging in the area was a big part of the economy and gravel mining for road construction in nearby Portland also played a role in its development. See more

Finding an apartment in Scappoose 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.
