Shorewood, IL 72 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Shorewood is not a city, and it's not a town; it's a village, thank you very much! This village is very proud of its history and its distinction as a village. It started as a fishing and tourism hot spot and never really felt the need to change. Fishing is still a popular activity, and there are plenty of people visiting from Chicago who come here to get away from the crowds in the city. Life here is fun, there is plenty of adventure, and it's a quick trip to Chicago! View Shorewood City Guide

Finding an apartment in Shorewood 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.
