Ferguson, MO 280 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located in St. Louis County not far from downtown St. Louis, Missouri, Ferguson is about 6.2 miles in size, with just over 21,000 residents. The town has an interesting claim to fame -- its streetcar line. The Florissant streetcar line was the longest streetcar route in the United States and began as the West End Narrow Gauge Railway. When the streetcar line ended around 1950, replaced by bus lines, the history of public transportation in town made Ferguson easily accessible and a popular residence known for its great shopping options, lovely parks and green space.

Finding an apartment in Ferguson 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.
