Griffith, IN 112 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Although Griffith has a relatively small population (16,893 according to the 2010 census) and isn't the most happening spot on the planet, it's actually part of the Chicago Great Metropolitan Area (despite being in a different state -- weird, right?), so you'll never be too far from the action. Having grown from being a small farming area, there's a good sense of community in Griffith and you can find a number of town events going on throughout the year. View Griffith City Guide

Finding an apartment in Griffith 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.
