Pike Road, AL 91 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Just outside the city of Montgomery, a new community is emerging. Pike Road, Alabama is reinventing the American hometown by blending timeless traditions with modern conveniences. Share iced tea with neighbors on the front porch or share photos of local events through the town square's Wi-Fi--welcome to Southern hospitality 2.0.

Pike Road is an up-and-coming area in high demand and on the fast track to keep up with that demand. Beginning in the 19th century as a small municipality on the outskirts of Alabama's capital city, the Town of Pike Road incorporated in 1997 to provide a refreshing alternative to random suburban sprawl. The town's planning commission has embraced and enforced "smart growth"--an effort to create communities equally desirable to residents and businesses while preserving green spaces and improving area walkability--a rarity in most rural settings. The recent construction boom in Pike Road gives it that new town smell. View Pike Road City Guide

Finding an apartment in Pike Road 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.
