Pet-Friendly Housing
Bringing your pet to campus is bringing a little bit of home with you.
For student pet lovers who value and want to further their knowledge about pet education and well-being
Linfield’s Pet-Friendly Communities welcomes all pet lovers and owners! These communities seek to foster healthy pet ownership practices and pet health. With educational programming geared towards the benefits and responsibilities of pet ownership while in college, residents will be able to utilize these skills and practices to better their and their pet’s well-being during the transition to campus living.
The Pet-Friendly Communities are partnered with Buchanan Cellers, a local animal feed store, for supplies and discounts.
Great for students who:
- Are passionate about animals.
- Want to bring a pet from home or those looking to get a pet while in college that is not a service or emotional support animal.
- Want the benefits of living with a pet without having the responsibility of their own.
- Want to learn about pet ownership and develop skills to better pet well-being.
