Pet Friendly

Your pets are part of your family. That means finding a home that welcomes all of you. We couldn't agree more, which is why we offer pet-friendly communities across the country and created WAG The Pet Program to take pet-friendly living to the next level.

WAG The Pet Program

From a warm welcome to opportunities to play, at AvalonBay we welcome, appreciate and give back to pets everywhere through WAG.

WELCOME

We welcome pets with treats and clean spaces to play. Our team puts emphasis on clean and safe grounds for pets, including a focus on pet clean-up, stocking pet stations around the community and picking up pet trash frequently. Select communities also feature pet-friendly landscaping throughout for additional peace of mind.

APPRECIATE

We appreciate pets by hosting social events for our furry residents such as a Doggie Paddle Pool Party, Yappy Hours, Howl-O-Week Party & Costume Contest, Pet CPR Class, National Dog and Cat Days, etc.

GIVE

We show kindness and compassion for all animals by giving back to animal-friendly charitable causes.

Pet policy

Most communities allow cats and dogs and accept a maximum of two pets per home.

Pets must be on a leash at all times when outside the apartment home. If applicable, dogs must be leashed whenever entering and exiting the Pet Park, but may be unleashed while within the enclosure of the Pet Park.

AvalonBay Communities reserves the right to deny residency to any animal deemed aggressive whose breed is not explicitly listed. Should your pet injure any other pets, residents or AvalonBay Communities associates, you will be asked to remove the pet from the premises immediately.
