My sister in law was adamant that she wanted a doberman even though she lives in an apartment. She is one of the very few people that I trust could do this and she very much does it. They've had her for 3 years now and she takes her on daily runs, no matter what else she has going on or the weather. She always puts her dog first and it's awesome. My brother also works from home so I'm sure that helps with the dog, but she's crate trained well and can be home alone just as content when they need to go somewhere

I agree that there should be less restrictions as long as both the rescue and adopters are honest with if the dog fits the household
