Anacortes, WA 29 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Anacortes sits on the northern half of Fidalgo Island, which is surrounded by the blue waters of Puget Sound. But you can escape quickly to the mainland through two bridges or take a ferry to other islands. The forested southern half highlights the area's status as a nature lover's wonderland. Yet the city is hip enough to offer shopping, restaurants, museums and a casino. View Anacortes City Guide

Finding an apartment in Anacortes 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.
