My husband and I are relocating to Atlanta temporarily.. we are looking for a German Shepherd friendly apartment/townhouse, etc. to rent.. seems like finding a needle in a hay stack...

1. Our budget has not been given to us by my husband's company
2. We are open to apartments, townhouses and homes, though looking for something furnished with a washer/dryer in unit.
3. My husband will be commuting to Norcross and we would like to stay within about a 25 min commute, with a reasonable drive to the Buckhead area as he will need to be there on occasion.
4. No children
5. More of a suburban preference, but open to urban or a combo
6. Access to public transit would be a plus, but not required.
7. Looking for an area where I will be able to walk the dog alone and feel safe in our surroundings.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Should be very easy to find.

What is giving you trouble? Finding pet friendly housing (should be plentiful), or are German Shepherds turning up on banned breed lists?

Even then, you should be able to find a rental from a private owner. Tons of people in this area have pitbull mixes, German Shepherds, dalmations, Rottweilers, and all kinds of dogs.

@ATLTJL German Shepherds are on many banned breeds list.. For now, I am trying to stick with places run by management companies, as my husband's company will be paying for it and is the preferred method.

Just say you have a "shepherd mix."

Most shepherds won't be on the banned list.

Furnished apartments are hard to come by and usually at a premium. Perhaps Promove - The Apartment Source - Atlanta Apartment Experts could help or they could refer you to an executive housing company?

I conducted a search on executive housing and found the following:

Atlanta Furnished Corporate Apartments | Short Term or Extended Stay

Atlanta Extended Stay, Corporate Housing & Atlanta Furnished Apartments

Atlanta Corporate Apartments Short Term Stay Furnished Housing Georgia

Sorry I don't have any experience dealing with the companies I just posted. Good luck to you!

When we found this little duplex (which has its own charms) it wasn't specifically "dog friendly" but we were good prospects for the landlord and she allowed our dogs with a deposit. Don't be afraid to ask!

Wish you best luck also finding a place.
I absolutely love German Shepherds. In fact, they are the only breed dog I would own if I get a dog again.
My last shepherd lived to age 14, a regular member of our family.
