I live in an apartment but have no outdoor space so I think it's best for smaller dogs. I am home all day with my 8 year old chiweenie Mocha so your dog will have to get along with my dog. We go for lovely walks throughout the day and plenty of cuddles at night. I would treat your dog as if he/she was mine. There is a great park in walking distance I can take your dog to if you like. Mocha and I go on hikes a lot so if you feel comfortable with taking your dog on a hike I am happy to do so. If there are any special diets that your dog needs I am happy to give them what they require.
