So you’ve decided to take the leap and adopt a dog! Congratulations! At Camden, we love our four legged family members, and we can’t wait for you to experience the joy of having a pet.

Before adopting, consider reading "Choosing To Be A Responsible Pet Owner".  Desirae’s blog provides tips and resources to create the best environment for your dog.  It also gives advice on your new pet and surrounding Camden neighbors. My favorite tip is the pet gate. After reading this blog, I purchased one for my home. Now my dog doesn’t crowd the front door when I have guests over.

When your new family member comes home, make sure to make it Camden official. "What Do I Do When...I Want a Furry Friend" has wonderful tips on how to welcome a pet to the Camden family! Add your pet to the lease and start enjoying the perks of being a pet owner at Camden!

The next step is to spoil them silly with gifts galore! Sabrina recommends the top accessories for your pets in her blog, "Top 9 Pet Accessories Under $100". Sabrina includes everything from bowls to bedding, and even personalized gear for your pet. And in "5 Must Haves for Hiking with Your Dog", Elizabeth mentions the best gear for the outdoor adventurers.

Sometimes the biggest worry about being a pet owner is what to do when you have to go away or your dog is lonely during the day? "What Can Rover.com Do For You?" answers those questions for you! Rover.com pairs dog owners with dog sitters, doggie day care, or dog walkers in your area. Reviews and credentials are available for all their pet sitters.

Most Camden communities are pet friendly, but be sure to ask before adopting a pet. Whether you are a current Camden resident or looking for an apartment home, bring your pets to meet the Camden team!
