Purcellville, VA

26 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The town has a long and storied history dating back to 1740, although most people had never heard of it until stagecoaches started passing through over 90 years later. The town has served as a way point on both coach trails and railroads ever since. Purcellville prides itself on its agricultural heritage and the Victorian-style houses which line Main Street. Recently, the town has seen a fair amount of expansion in its population because of its proximity to Washington and, unlike most other places in this region, an improvement in its traffic conditions. Today, the community serves as a residential location for those who seek the convenience of living in a small town without all the noise, pollution and lack of space found in a big city, namely Washington D.C.

Finding an apartment in Purcellville 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.
