Is Drayton Mills Lofts pet friendly?
Yes. We're a pet-friendly community with a nearly one-acre gated, off-leash dog park on site, walking trails across a 30-acre campus, and hardwood floors instead of carpet. Dogs and cats are welcome; reptiles and ferrets are not permitted.
What are the pet fees at Drayton Mills Lofts?
The pet fee is $550 for the first pet and $250 for a second pet, due before move-in. Ask our leasing team about current pet rent, if any, for the home you're considering. Fees do not apply to an approved assistance animal.
Which dog breeds are restricted?
Pit bull types (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bully), Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Chow Chow, Akita, wolf hybrids, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Mastiff breeds including Bullmastiff, Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky — plus mixes and dogs that resemble a listed breed — are not permitted as pets.
Do breed restrictions apply to service animals or emotional support animals?
No. Breed, weight and fee restrictions do not apply to a service animal or emotional support animal approved as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act. Requests are reviewed individually through PetScreening, and we do not deny an assistance animal based on breed alone.
What is PetScreening and do I have to use it?
PetScreening is the third-party platform we use to register pets and to review assistance-animal accommodation requests. Every animal at the community must have a current profile there, and residents keep their animal's license and vaccination records in that profile.
Who is responsible for vaccination and license records?
Residents are. Each resident is solely responsible for keeping their animal current on all legally required vaccinations and licenses and for entering those records in the animal's PetScreening profile before move-in, at renewal, and within 10 days of any change. Management does not collect, verify or monitor vaccination status. If the platform reports a record expired or missing and it is not corrected within 30 days of the platform's first notice, a $65 per month administrative charge applies until it is corrected.
What is PooPrints?
PooPrints is a pet DNA registry. Every approved pet is enrolled within 7 days, and residents are responsible for the testing fee when a sample is matched to their pet.
I already live here with my dog. Does this change apply to me?
Animals approved under a signed Animal Addendum before the policy's effective date may remain. Current residents will receive written notice about registering their animal on PetScreening, with a 30-day window to complete it. If you have questions, contact the leasing office through your resident portal.
