Depends on which state you reside in. Your credit may suffer, but most courts will give you a reasonable amount of time to relocate. This sometimes ranges up to 6 months. I don't recommend testing this; just move.

To evict you, your landlord must first serve notice to quit. Normally this is 30 days but may be much shorter for either non-payment of rent or if you are creating a significant hazard.
Once that notice expires, the landlord will file an Unlawful Detainer suit against you. These are usually fast-tracked in the courts; the court date will likely be within a few days of notice being served upon you.
If you fail to appear, the landlord will win a default judgement against you. If you respond to the suit and appear in court you will be allowed to plead your case. At the very least you will need to pay any unpaid rents and get rid of the pet to stop the eviction.
Assuming that an eviction order is granted, it will usually be enforced by the sheriff in 5-7 days. The sheriff will come to your door and move you, any other occupants, and all of your posessions to the street. The landlord will probably be there to change the locks to keep you out of the property.
Your deposit on the property is not a factor. It is provided by you to guarantee repairs of any damage beyond fair wear and tear. It is NOT advance rent and does NOT cover your last month's rent on the property.
Unless you can cure the lease violation that gave rise to the eviction proceedings (pay all overdue rents and get rid of the pets) then the eviction will go forward and the courts will not likely give you any additional time.
If you didn't pay the rent due June 1st, the landlord can start eviction proceedings on June 2nd. Depending upon the law in your jurisdiction it's entirely possible that you could be out on the street before July 7th. As a practical matter, most evictions take a bit longer than that but you are on very shakey legal ground here.

In every state you have at least 30 days from the landlord filing for eviction.

In Ohio, the only person who can evict you is the sheriff's department. No matter how much a landlord threatens, he or she cannot make you leave without a sheriff's order--but that's Ohio--check your state laws.

It depends on the state you live in, and the rental agreement you sign. Most places allow 30 days, but if having the pet violated your rental agreement then you might not have as much time.

stay as long as possible , we stayed almost 2 months one time they kept threatening us but they never really took action.i think the law prohibits them from trowing you on the streets unless you did something that's violent or against the law. but if it's just lack of payment i think you will be fine, but they will send all kind of people to you door, just ignore it because they are just trying to scare you, they really can not force you to leave.
