Bellmead, TX

72 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located a short two miles northeast of Waco, the city of Bellmead has a population of 10,212 residents who take great pride in the 6.2 square miles of land they all call home. The city's beginnings start back in the mid 1920s when three major railroads -- the Kansas, Missouri and Texas Railroads -- chose this as the spot for their locomotive shops. Bellmead's economy struggled to attract new families and businesses until 1942. That was the year the Waco Army Airfield was built just northeast of town. Following World War II, the economy continued to improve and in 1954, Bellmead incorporated using a mayor-alderman form of government. In 1965, the air base was closed. Today, Bellmead is a vibrant and visually stunning little city that attracts many people who work in Waco but prefer to live in a community that feels more welcoming and neighborly! See more

Finding an apartment in Bellmead 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.
