My question is when living in a senior based apartment of 50 units, do you think seniors should be allowed a small pet or do you think there should be a No Pet Policy? Thank You for your responses.

I always think pets benefit everyone in one way or another. So I think yes. But I know it is hard to get landlords to allow pets.

Yes it is and now that I have encountered health issues I come to realize when I was hospitalized then what? I would need someone to care for my little one. It"s hard growing old and having to part with our belongings and the hardest of all was parting with my puppy.

@Grandmaof2 Awe that is sad that you will have to part with your puppy. I didn't know you already had a dog. I am sorry to hear that. It would be nice if you had someone close to you to take your puppy for you.

I think allowing a small pet is best. They are wonderful companions for seniors.

I agree and also believe they're therapeutic, I do however wonder what it would be if all 50 units had a dog.

Maybe it should be a no pet zone as many seniors might have allergies to animals. Plus having a pet will need constant caring and maintenance.

We are a No Pet Policy and I agree with your remarks. You're absolutely right these little pets need care and we all know not everyone does a proper job.
