Kim, This is the OP again. I think you have a great idea with your pet survey. I may do something along the same lines.

The only things I require now are vet proof of spay/neuter, vaccinations and a city license. Some people balk at the spay/neuter but the vet report usually names a breed if possible. That way I can tell if the owner is truthful about the breed.

The Humane Society of the U.S. has an accepting pet guide for landlords at http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/rental_manager_resources.html

I guess another way to verify their level of care is to go visit their current residence and see how the place fares with the dog. I don't really want to go to that much trouble, and many of the renters I serve are military who are being transferred from another base in another state. I think I will keep my smaller pet policy for now.
