Ozark, MO 152 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Situated just 19 miles south of Springfield, Ozark is nestled at the edge of the Ozark Plateau, an area also dubbed "The Ozarks" or "Ozark Mountains." The Ozark Plateau is famed for its beautiful, unkempt nature, and many folks consider it to be one of the last pieces of real "deep country" in the United States. According to the 2010 census, the city of Ozark counts a population of about 17,820 people. However, if the city continues to grow at its current rate, with an expansion of 119% in the past decade, you wouldn't have to worry as much about keeping up with the Joneses as keeping track of who your neighbors actually are.

Finding an apartment in Ozark 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.
