Country roads, take me home / to the place I belong / West Virginia, mountain momma / take me home, country roads. -- From "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver
Apparently, Daniel Boone shared these sentiments expressed by singer-songwriter John Denver. When Boone, as a member of the Kanawha County Assembly, was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1791, he walked the long trek to Richmond, rather than leaving Kanawha County. See more
Finding an apartment in Cross Lanes 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.
