It helps a lot to know I'm not the only one who at least had a bit of difficulty finding a place that will work for both Bella and I.

Still on the hunt!

I actually found my rental back when we were looking for a place to rent with our 50 lb aussie. Most places in town wouldn't take a dog over 30-40 lb. As it happened, a brand new dog-friendly complex was opening up that accepted two dogs of any size with just a couple breed restrictions, not including GSD's. We were one of the first people to move in. I also found that place via Craigslist.

my apartment complex has a 20 lb restriction, but i was able to talk them into allowing her... if you can sell her as an awesome dog, and let them meet her, it should be a good result... good luck! keep us updated!

Actually the apartment I just moved into in Charlotte, has a 85 weight limit along with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls (all of those "aggressive" breeds) restrictions. Of course I have a Dutch Shepherd, so when I applied, of course I got accepted and I asked about the pet deposit, and they told me it was $500.00 along with vet records, well of course on my vet records it says Dutch Shepherd, so I told the management that he was a Dutch Shepherd, and management had never heard of them (of course lol). Well I told them that he was like a German Shepherd, just different colors and most of the time a little smaller then German Shepherds, and at 1 year old he weighs 60 pounds. Management looked right at me, and told me bring in the deposit and bring in your dog, we actually allow German Shepherds (and the senior manager there) looked straight at me and said I own 2 of them and they are the nicest dogs ever, I usually bring them in here, so if your dog is sweet then I don't care what kind of dog you have.

So morale of the story is, sometimes all you have to do is ask...and if you have the money for the deposits up front and usually I always pay the first month's rent when I move into a new place (just one less thing to worry about), they usually don't care what kind of dog you have as long as its trained and sweet.

Or apartment changed their policy while we were living there and had to move. We got a house so it worked out, but it was a pain.
