I’m having to move and looking for apartments. An issue I am running into is apartment complexes having “breed restrictions” on pets. Apparently this is because insurance companies require breed restrictions, according to the apartment complex people. They mostly don’t seem to care much either way.
My dog is (probably) a pit/lab mix and I got her from a Humane Society location where I lived previously. I honestly don’t really know what breed she is, but I don’t give a fuck anyways. She’s the sweetest and most loving dog I’ve ever had maybe. The only animals she doesn’t like or cats and deer, and even then she’d probably learn to get along pretty quick if properly exposed to them.
Anyways, anyone have any tips for getting my dog cleared by the insurance dog eugenicists? The lady at one leasing office told me to just go to a vet and have them certify her as “brown lab mix”. She made it sound pretty easy, but idk. The other option is getting her certified as an emotional support dog, which I’m not sure how to go about doing that. Anyone have any advice on this?
Yes, but do they actually check with vet offices? I did think about scanning and editing her original paperwork in GIMP, but idk if they’re going to investigate further. I have noticed at least some apartment complexes are more lax than others.
Hi op I’m a vet
Ask your vet what they have her in their computer as, and if they can change it to lab mix if it’s not already. Then ask for a copy of her most recent physical notes + rabies vaccination for your apartment.
As long as you’re not asking them to outright lie I feel like they’ll understand.
You could also print out a fake dna test that says she’s a lab mix, which is probably what I would do lol
