The Google Earth view of Merced looks like somebody dropped a bunch of buildings into the middle of farmland. That's kind of what it is. Located in California’s San Joaquin Valley, known to locals as the Central Valley, Merced is a city in flux. There’s good, and there’s bad, like in all cities. Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first, and then go about this here apartment hunt, eh?
View Merced City GuideFinding an apartment in Merced 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.
