Pets 911 and Apartments.com Partner to Showcase Pet-Friendly Rentals
Filed under: Pets 911, Press Releases - September 24, 2007
Scottsdale, AZ – The three scariest words for pet-loving apartment seekers are “No Pets Allowed,” however a new partnership between Pets 911 and Apartments.com can now help potential renters with pets easily find pet-friendly rental communities in their area.
Pets 911 is the national lost and found database for pets and is also one of the top pet adoption portals. Pets911.com is a national website that currently provides valuable information to pet owners, including locations of emergency clinics, veterinarians and shelters along with helpful advice on training, behavior and pet health. Its “Pet Friendly Living” section, through the partnership with Apartments.com, will provide a database of thousands of pet-friendly rental communities from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Recently, an Apartments.com survey to current renters indicated that more than 84 percent own a pet and more than 34 percent stated that it was very difficult to find an apartment that allowed their pet. Because of this, one of the top reasons pets are surrendered to shelters is due to owner relocation. The partnership between Pets 911 and Apartments.com hopes to reduce the number of pets surrendered to shelters by matching renters with pet friendly properties through an easy-to-use database organized by zip-code.
“There are millions of pet owners and millions of apartment-seekers in the U.S., so it makes sense to develop a service that serves both parties,” said Pets 911 CEO Jeffrey Rassás. “Pets 911 and Apartments.com will redefine the way that pet lovers look for their next apartment.”
“Apartments.com is dedicated to assisting renters in all aspects of their apartment search,” said Colleen Sloan, consumer marketing manager at Apartments.com. “Through this partnership, more renters will be able to find apartments that meet their specific, pet-friendly, search criteria.”
