96 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Fox Point is a village in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin with a population of 6,701. It's located along the North Shore, just outside of Milwaukee and is named after a tiny point of land that juts out into Lake Michigan. It's mostly residential but is home to some quaint shops and restaurants, mostly tucked away in the far northwest side of town. It only covers about 2.90 square miles of land, so even though the population is so slight, you'll still be in close proximity to your neighbors! It's also home to the Albert and Edith Adelman House, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places! The Mary Nohl Art Environment is on the National Register of Historic Places, too. It contains many pieces of historic folk art. See more

Finding an apartment in Fox Point 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.
