According to the National Council on Pet Population, 3.6 million pets were given up to shelters last year because their owners couldn't find pet-friendly homes.
Step 2:
Renting Restrictions
Many apartment or complexes have weight restrictions and large pet deposits. "The main thing I had to do was just keep calling the ads that would say they were pet-friendly. And even the ones that were pet-friendly, if you told them you had more than one dog, most of them wouldn't talk to you."
Step 3:
Search For Pet-Friendly Accommodation
So how do you find pet-friendly housing? Step one is to do an Internet key word search like, "pet-friendly rentals" in your new area. Or you can contact a realtor who'll have condos and apartments set up for rent that are pet-friendly.
Step 4:
Additional Tips
If a landlord is uneasy about renting to you because of your pets, here are some tips. Give them a letter of reference from your current landlord verifying that you're a responsible pet owner. Include documentation that your pet has been spayed or neutered and are vaccinated against rabies. If you have a well-behaved dog, offer to bring the pooch in for a face-to-face meeting. Offer the landlord a larger-than-usual deposit. In many cases, money talks. Moving should never mean having to give up your family pet. After all, they're part of the family.
