270 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

--Henry Clay, politician born in Ashland, Virginia

Ashland, Virginia, is located in the heart of the state. That's right, it's smack-dab in the middle of everything, and that is one of the reasons why Ashland is known to locals as the "Center of the Universe." Ashland has over 7,000 residents, covers a scope of around 7 square miles, and is located in Hanover County. This tight-knit and friendly little town owes its early development to the railroad, as it was first created to be a mineral springs resort. Now, Ashland functions as a small college town full of people who love to be outdoors -- walking, biking, and hiking. Another bonus: Ashland is only 15 minutes north of Richmond. It's all about location! See more

Finding an apartment in Ashland 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.
