Too many times descriptions of shelter pets will read: “left behind due to relocation.” Although all circumstances are unique, it is important to know that just because you are moving to an apartment complex, that doesn’t mean you have to give up your pets. Finding a pet-friendly apartment can seem like an impossible task, but even if you have large breed dogs you can find complexes that will welcome you and your critters. 

If you are stumped on how to start looking for these places, go beyond the newspaper classifieds and get familiar with websites that devote time to compiling resources for animal lovers.

PeopleWithPets.com and DogFriendly.com are two places to start. Asking your current veterinarian is another way to get a pet-friendly apartment recommendation, as is consulting a local humane society. Most humane societies keep lists of pet-friendly apartments at the front desks for use when screening adoption applicants. 

If you are thinking of moving to the Detroit area, or are relocating within the Detroit area, here are a handful of apartments that accept dogs, cats, and other small pets (* denotes over 50 pounds accepted):

Fairlane Meadow - Dearborn*
Lakeside Village Apartments -Clinton Township*
Silverbrook Village Apartments-West Bloomfield
Roanoke Apartments -Rochester Hills*
Timberlea Village -Rochester Hills
The Glens at Rolling Ridge -Howell
Ashgrove Apartments -Sterling Heights*

Your pet provides an unconditional and unlimited amount of love in your life. Why love ‘em and leave ‘em? Give your pet the life and love it deserves, and save it from the unknown.
