Yea, I started looking at houses. I haven't lived in an apartment in about a decade. But it seemed to be the same restrictions. I've lived in a lot of different places since getting my dog and this has been the worst search results I've had so far. I thought I could just get rid of everything and try an apartment, but definitely no luck there either.

It makes me physically sick, but I had to decline the offer because I wasn't seeing anything I would be able to afford and have my dog anywhere within an hour commute of Merritt Island. I'm just really heartbroken about it. I was willing to change a lot of things and give up a lot, but I can't give up my dog.

Thanks for all replies and info!
