5 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The city of Fredericksburg is the seat of Gillespie County, in Texas. It has been recognized as the Peach Capital of Texas, though there are also a multitude of herb and lavender farms in the area, and viticulture proliferates. The reason why these particular crops do so well in Fredericksburg is in-part due to the lovely light, sandy soils, together with the idyllic climate, which is semi-arid, where the summers are hot, and the winters remain mild on the whole. The city is located around 63 miles north of San Antonio, and approximately 67 miles west of Austin. The population is approximately 10,500, according to the census carried out in 2010. See more

Finding an apartment in Fredericksburg 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.
