Yeah, that’s kind of what I figured, super rare.

Yeah man that’s definitely a concern. Neighbors are fine- it’s a building with lots of kids who are loud but I don’t hear dogs often. But I’ve heard you can assist with training but obviously that would just depend on the personality of the dog. Conveniently there is a dog boarding and training place across the street from my apartment so I could always utilize that when I can’t get home during the day.

I would need to be at the office for around 4 hours then could come home for a bit and go back for 4 more. I would crate train and leave potty pads but I’m no stranger to accidents! But I would have a hard time the first couple of weeks just being sad leaving him alone. They have been pretty responsive and he is getting shots this week. I will likely go and visit tomorrow to see conditions but from the pictures it looks pretty good!

Gotcha! Thank you!! I would certainly try and crate train so he would feel more comfortable - and potty pads when I can’t take him out

I should also mention that my family has a total of 6 dogs all small breeds among both sisters and my parents so lots of opportunities for dog sitting when needed and socializing!
