Also it's pretty rare to find a boxer at the pound.
Any idea how to get our dog to stop sulking? She still won't have anything to do with the new puppy.
Hate apartment living. Really want to get a dog but just not happening as a renter. Especially with the breeds I'm interested in.
I'm coming up on the same situation. You can get an independent dog, or be ready to shell out like 50-100 a week for doggy day careI'd love to get a puppy, but I live alone and work 40 hours a week Monday-Friday. How the fuck am I supposed to take care of a puppy in that circumstance? Seems impossible and it sucks.
Emotional support animal - any dog qualifies. Renters must rent, cannot charge pet rent.

Not really sure why living in an apartment means you can't get a big dog, provided your apartment doesn't have dog size restrictions. Huskies typically aren't banned in apartments. It's usually Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Chows. One of my friends who used to live in my building had a Huskie here for like two years and he did fine. I have a Shepherd and a Boxer and they do fine.
Chris - I own a husky and live in an apartment. She isn't overweight or anything. Actually a tad underweight. I just make an effort to get her exercise whenever I can. Dog parks are a godsend.
Rob - Puppy stage may be hard as they need some more attention, but owning a dog and working only 40 hours a week is certainly doable. Me/my girlfriend just put her in her crate before we leave for work and have no issues. Its not uncommon for people to put their dog in a crate when not home. Make getting into a crate a "happy" experience. I always grab a treat and mine runs right in her cage. She knows the routine. You could always look at adopting.
At Bow Wow beach in Stow last summer.
Yes 5 days a week.Are you gone during the day most of the time out of curiosity?
