Finding a Rott Friendly Residence...

[tla0126]

Ok... There have been a lot of recent threads on here saying the people are having trouble finding places that will let them have their rottie. I have even seen one or two people at the point of giving up. Please, don't give up your family member!!! When I was having a rough time, I decided to hit up Craig's List. Well, the "Rent an apt/housing" section was overwhelming, so I decided to get people to come to me! I posted an ad. You wouldn't BELEIVE the responses I received! Tons and tons of emails telling me about how adorable my dog is and they have the perfect spot for me. I hope I can posts links on here... If this goes through, this is my ad. I reposted it because I am moving again in July:

Need apt/condo/duplex! Have big,well trained dog! I have renter's ins!

Like I said, please don't give up a beloved part of your family. If there's a will, there's a way!!

How fantastic is this?

Good for you and I wish you much success finding another place.

Adding my admiration to the others - that's a brilliant idea. And your dog IS adorable! Great idea putting a hat on him. You should be very proud of yourself - we are!

Good luck on your next move!

Haha, thanks everyone. I wasn't trying to get applause, I was just trying to help people out with ideas. It is SOO hard finding a place, and I just think this makes it a bit easier. MissingMarley, adding a hat and a crown really takes away any preconceived notions, right?? Haha...

I so wish it was that easy with me. It not only trying to find a place that will let me have Janus, it's the fact that we (myself and boyfriend) are moving in with his folks and they already have their 2 dogs limit already, (granted one is a small poodlish that i consider half a dog compared to the size of Janus and his half brother). I know I can find a place that will allow us all to move in and continue our happy family, it's just the inbetween stage that is so hard. My boyfriend's mother said that maybe I should let someone have Janus till we get a place of our own. Having someone take care of him wouldn't be a problem if I knew of someone that would do that for me when we got to Florida (from Maine) and I could visit him every day (and if I could trust someone to propperly care for him).

If anyone has any idea or suggestions, I'd gladly like to hear them.

I love your ad on craigs list! The pics of your pup are too cute!!!

[Awwwsugar]

great idea, truly, i will keep this in mind in case i ever get into a situation like that. this forum is so full of information and great ideas like this. even though i don't have any dogs yet, because i'm waiting untill the right time in my life to be taking care of another living thing and am just here to learn. and i love the top hat.

How long are you staying with your boyfriend's mom? If you're not staying long, then is there a law against having an additional dog 'visit' for a few months?

if it's anything like ontario, canada, having that third dog in a residential area for more than a week is in violation.

I too had great success placing an ad with Craigslist. I got frustrated with all the ads that said they were dog friendly and then when they find out you have a rottweiler slam the door in your face. Finally posted an ad stating exactly how many, how big and what breed of dog and got some great responses and the place I chose the home owner met the dogs and simply adores them. It helped I had them all run through their tricks for her. I think my girlies non stop kissing helped too.
