Looking for Pet-friendly Housing?:
Homestore.com and The Humane Society of the United States have teamed
up on a Web site that lists pet-friendly apartments. You can access
the site by visiting:

In addition, pet owners looking for new housing can find a helpful
guide called, "13 Steps to Finding Pet-friendly Rental Housing" by
visiting http://www.rentwithpets.org.

Here are some tips for a successful search for a new home that will
accept pets:

* Allow lots of time. Bringing along a pet involves extra
considerations. Finding pet-friendly housing will probably take some
extra time—plan for six months at the outside!

* No Pets means it. If an apartment community has a no-pets policy,
there's a reason for it. Why bother arguing? Concentrate on places
that welcome pets.

* Go in well-armed with references, vet records, even a pet resume—it
shows you're diligent and trustworthy.

*Tell the truth. Don't try to sneak Spot in. It's trouble for you,
trouble for Spot, may even be illegal.

* Get it in writing. A verbal okay is not always okay. If a
landlord agrees to forego a no-pets clause, get it in writing.
