Plenty of Augusta renters share their home with a dog. Apartment living works great for pets with a little planning. Here's what we've learned.
Ask the right questions before you sign
- Is there a one-time pet fee, a refundable pet deposit, monthly pet rent — or a combination?
- Are there breed or weight limits? How many pets are allowed?
- Is there a place on site to exercise your dog?
Paperwork to have ready
Georgia law requires rabies vaccination for dogs and cats, so keep your vet records handy. A recent photo of your pet is useful for your file, too.
Dog park etiquette
- Watch your dog the whole time, and leave if play gets too rough.
- Pick up after your pet, every time.
- Skip the dog park if your dog is sick, in heat, or not fully vaccinated.
- Bring water on hot days — Augusta summers are no joke.
Good places to walk nearby
Lake Olmstead Park and the Augusta Canal towpath are popular spots for leashed walks. Always check posted rules before you go.
