How to search for pet friendly rental listings
Dog House Properties has re-launched DogHouseProperties as a Beta website. With an aim to alleviate the current rental housing strain on individuals and families with pets, the Beta site will aggregate pet friendly rental listings onto DogHouseProperties.com utilizing additional online resources.
Since January 2006, DogHouseProperties.com has operated as an internet based search engine showcasing only pet friendly rental property listings (including vacation, long-term, and apartment complex listings). Now, as DogHouseProperties enters the initial stages of their Beta website, they will also combine and integrate pet friendly rental listings from larger search engines – such as Google Base – and data feeds from property management and real estate companies.
President and Founder Rebecca Suarez says, “As a former sub-prime mortgage lender, my heart goes out to those individuals and families who can no longer afford their homes. As more families lose their home to foreclosure, they are realizing an unimaginable strain of finding pet friendly rental housing. The goal of our Beta re-launch is to compile pet friendly housing information into one resource, aiming to reduce family pet surrenders to animal shelters and abandonment of the pet altogether. Ultimately, re-branding our website and integrating pet friendly rental listings from other online resources will allow DogHouseProperties.com to become the primary website for pet friendly housing searches.”
DogHouseProperties.com expects the site to be in Beta for at least 1 year. Additionally, users can expect the release of several features during the Beta stage:
- Integration of 10,000+ pet friendly vacation and long-term rental listings
- Easily searchable listings using Google maps
- Ability to store searches for future reference
- Property Owners/Managers can personalize a listing’s url
- Tools to create Pet Resumes, and much more!
Suarez adds, “Right now, we urge all individual landlords, property owners/managers, and Apartment Complexes to unite and assist in the pet overpopulation in shelters. The simplest thing they can do is add their vacant pet friendly properties onto the site. This alone could help thousands of pet owners from leaving their pet behind.”
The website will remain free for ALL users, including people seeking rentals, as well as property owners/managers and large apartment complexes adding listings to the site. Property Management and Real Estate companies with 15 pet friendly properties or more can contact DogHouseProperties.com to provide a data feed for inclusion at no charge. In addition, individual property owners can continue to utilize the site to add their vacation and long-term rentals.
