I live in an apartment that is a short walk away from a grassy area for potty time. There is also a park less than a mile away if you prefer to have your dogs go on longer walks. I have a boyfriend who lives with me as well as a 7 year old general mutt named Sally Jo so there is plenty of love and company for your pet. Sally Jo is my life and is super sweet. She definitely gets along better with male dogs vs. female but the more I socialize her the better she is. Sally Jo was a rescue from a dog fighting operation. She was used as a reward for the winning male dogs and was kept with other female dogs. Resources were scarce and she was abused if she didn’t comply. After some love and patience she is a completely different dog and just wants to give love too. Pets are definitely allowed on our furniture and I also have an extra crate for dogs as large as 100 pounds if needed.
