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?
You don’t have a pit mix. You have a Staffordshire Terrier mixed with a Labrador Retriever and her lineage is untouchable because you used big words.
More seriously, tell them she’s a lab mix and to fuck off. I doubt they’re going around asking for dogs’ papers. Otherwise, as others have said, ask your vet. They’re likely to be sympathetic.
