Lake Dallas, TX

106 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The community has existed since since 1852 and there has almost always been some confusion concerning its name.The history of the reservoirs resulting from tampering with the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in this area is even more confusing. This isn't a natural lake, you know, but folks who live here sure do love it! Suffice it to say that the waters have been known as Lake Dallas, Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, and now Lake Lewisville. It doesn't really matter, however -- all you really need to know is that if you live near here, you can be fishing or boating in short order. Residents of Lake Dallas, all 7,105 of them, like that.

Finding an apartment in Lake Dallas 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.
