Do all Wimmer apartment communities allow dogs?

Almost all…the exceptions are The Grant, S111th, and Cleveland in West Allis. 

Is there a weight limit for dogs?

Nearly all our communities allow dogs of any size, as long as they are not on the restricted breed list.  In our senior communities there are some size limits.  Forest Ridge Senior Community has a limit of one dog up to 20 pounds. Our other three senior communities (The Centennial Senior in Oak Creek, Silvernail in Pewaukee, and Heritage House in West Allis) all have a dog weight limit of 30 pounds.

Is there a limit to the total number of pets I can have in my apartment?

Almost every Wimmer apartment community allows 2 pets per apartment with the following exceptions: Only one pet allowed at our Heritage House Senior Community in West Allis.  Forest Ridge Senior Community allows up to 2 pets total, but not more than 1 dog (two pets total can be either 2 cats, OR 1 cat & 1 dog).

Is the one-time pet fee refundable? 

The one-time pet fee is NON-refundable with the following senior community exceptions: The Centennial in Oak Creek, Heritage House in West Allis, and Silvernail in Pewaukee.  At these senior communities the one-time pet fee is REFUNDABLE.

Are my pet birds welcome in my Wimmer Apartment? 

A maximum of 2 birds are allowed in Wimmer apartments.  Birds must be caged, and seeds and droppings must be shielded or caught to prevent accumulation and/or damage to the leased premises.  No additional deposit is required with the exception of the following senior communities - The Centennial in Oak Creek, Silvernail in Pewaukee, and Heritage House in West Allis.  **Please note this additional deposit is REFUNDABLE at the above senior communities.

Are my pet mice welcome in my Wimmer apartment?

The short answer is no.  More specifically, caged and/or exotic animals including, but not limited to, ferrets, mice, rats, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, farm animals, and other exotic animals are not allowed.  If you have a family pet other than a cat, dog, or bird, please call the leasing office so we can discuss your options.

I see “Doggy Swim Days” advertised.  Please explain.

Many of our communities with swimming pools celebrate the arrival of fall with a pool party, to which resident dogs are invited.  The dogs may swim in the community’s pool just before it is closed for the season, generally mid to late September. 

I see some communities have “Pet Spa – Wash & Groom” listed.  Please explain.

Select communities have a room set aside for residents to bathe and groom their dogs.  The “Spa” includes a stainless steel tub with coil spray hose, a grooming table with non-slip surface, and an attached grooming arm with 18” loop. 

What are Pet Waste Stations?

Pet Waste Stations are convenient and comprehensive systems for the disposal of pet waste.  Our dog-walking residents may utilize strategically located stations which include disposal baggies and a receptacle with lid.  Although not all, the vast majority of our communities offer this amenity.

Is every dog breed welcome?

While the vast majority of dog breeds are welcome, we do have some restrictions.  The current restricted breeds are listed below.  Wimmer Communities reserves the right to expand and/or change the restricted breed list without notice for all animals not currently on the lease or approved for residency by management.
