At various points in time during the last several years, I have found myself on the hunt for the perfect apartment or house and I continually run into the same frustration... most are not pet friendly.

I am in the market for a new place and this means pouring through classified ads, Craigslist and snapping cell phone pics of random for rent signs that I happen upon. I don't particularly want to be in an apartment complex and would prefer a rental house or perhaps an apartment similar to what I am in now - an older home that has been converted into a apartments. What I am constantly running into is that most of the homes or apartments that meet all of my criteria (price range, location, size, condition, efficiency etc) are not pet friendly. Obviously, if I were in a position to buy a house, this would not be an issue, but that is not currently an option. So, I continue to look and search and continue to be discouraged. I am sure that I am not the only animal lover who has faced this. I wish more people would consider renting to pet-friendly families. Or maybe, I need to just suck it up and move into a complex. For now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go make my 1 millionth scroll through Craigslist. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
