San Juan, TX 181 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

While Julian Castro may have been talking as a whole, he may have very well have been talking about San Juan. Nestled on the western edge of Texas' southern tip, the city of San Juan is located in what is known as the Rio Grande Valley. This city of 33,856 people sits just along the Texas and Mexico border and is best known for its Basilica of our Lady of San Juan, considered one of the largest churches in the Rio Grande Valley. One of the reasons San Juan is so unique and culturally diverse is its close proximity to Mexico. People live, work, shop and travel from one side of the border to the other, which helps to create lasting cultural as well as economic relations between the business men and women that travel between the two countries. Just a few minutes from McAllen, TX, it is an easy day trip into Mexico for a marathon shopping excursion that will have you home by dinner! View San Juan City Guide

Finding an apartment in San Juan 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.
