Humber Bay Shores Condo Pet Rules: What Dog Owners Need to Know Before You Buy
Moving to a condo with a dog comes with one big question: Will my pet actually be allowed to live there?
If you’re considering a move to Humber Bay Shores, here’s the reassuring headline:
Every condo building in Humber Bay Shores allows dogs.
The catch—and where buyers often run into trouble—is that pet rules vary by building, particularly when it comes to:
The number of pets allowed per suite
Weight limits (per pet or combined)
Whether certain pet combinations are permitted
This guide brings all of that information together in one place—something that’s surprisingly hard to find—so you can make informed decisions before you start booking showings.
Dog-Friendly Doesn’t Mean Rule-Free
Humber Bay Shores is one of Toronto’s most pet-friendly waterfront neighbourhoods, especially compared to many downtown condo pockets. That said, each condo corporation sets its own bylaws, which means rules can differ significantly from one building to the next.
Some condos allow:
Two pets of any size
Large dogs with no stated weight restriction
Others may:
Limit dogs to 30, 50, 65, 80, or 100 lbs
Restrict the total combined weight of pets
Allow one dog only, or prohibit dog-and-cat combinations
Understanding these nuances early can save you time, frustration, and costly surprises.
Humber Bay Shores Condos That Allow Larger Dogs (30 lbs and Up)
Based on current condo documentation, 17 Humber Bay Shores communities allow at least one dog over 30 lbs, with many allowing significantly larger dogs.
Several buildings fall into one of these categories:
No stated weight or size restrictions
No limit to the number of pets a resident may have
Generous limits such as 80 lbs or 100 lbs per pet
This is a major advantage for buyers with medium or large dogs—and one of the reasons Humber Bay Shores consistently attracts pet owners.

Condos That Allow Two Pets Per Suite
Multi-pet households need to look a little closer.
Across Humber Bay Shores:
25 condo complexes allow two pets per suite
Some allow two pets of any size
Others permit two pets with individual or combined weight limits
Certain buildings restrict pet types (for example, one dog or two cats)
This is where many buyers make assumptions—and where expert guidance matters most.
Why Pet Rules Should Guide Building Selection (Not the Other Way Around)
Most condo searches start with:
“I want a 1+1 with a lake view.”
For dog owners, the smarter starting point is:
“Which buildings actually work for my dog?”
Once the right buildings are identified, everything else—layout, view, price—becomes much easier to navigate.
This is also why I encourage buyers to explore my Humber Bay Shores Building Directory first. It provides an overview of each building’s character and helps narrow your options before falling in love with a unit that doesn’t fit your lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Humber Bay Shores Condo Pet Rules
Are dogs allowed in all Humber Bay Shores condos?
Yes. Every condo building in Humber Bay Shores allows dogs. What varies are the number of pets allowed and weight restrictions, which are set by each condo corporation.
Are there weight limits for dogs?
In many buildings, yes. Some condos allow dogs of any size, while others impose limits such as 25 lbs, 30 lbs, 50 lbs, 65 lbs, 80 lbs, or 100 lbs. Several buildings have no stated weight restrictions.
Can I have more than one dog?
It depends on the building. Some condos allow two dogs of any size, while others allow two pets only if weight limits are met. A few restrict pet combinations (for example, a dog or two cats, but not both).
Do condo pet rules ever change?
Yes. Condo corporations can amend their rules, which is why confirmation should always be done before submitting an offer. MLS listings alone should never be relied on for pet permissions.
What’s the safest way to avoid buying into the wrong building as a dog owner?
Start with the building, not the unit. Identifying pet-appropriate buildings early helps avoid wasted showings and post-purchase surprises.
