-Make sure your pet meets all of the requirements outlined above.  When you are filling out your apartment application, be sure to check the box that you have a pet (you should also check that box if you're about to get a pet, but don't currently have one).  We'll ask you for more information on your pet in order to be sure the pet meets our requirements, and so that we can properly prepare an addendum to your lease for the pet.  You will be required to submit a picture of the pet. For dogs and cats, we'll also need to see a valid certificate of spay or neuter, a rabies vaccination certificate and a valid pet license (see below).  We may request additional information from you prior to accepting the pet as well.  With dogs, this may include a physical inspection to determine the dog's personality, and a physical inspection of your dog crate (see below for our Crating policy).  If the pet is not a dog or a cat, please contact the apartment manager for more details on application requirements.  Once we receive all the required information from you and have given preliminary approval, we will add an addendum to your apartment lease giving you permission to have that particular pet on premises.
