Seeking a dog for apartment living

Indian River MI

Description

I've been wanting my own dog since I was little. Now that I have my own place, I intend to follow through on that wish. If you have a dog you need to rehome or any other situation that would offer someone a dog, I might be what you're looking for. Living in an apartment, I'm going to have to prioritize a dog that can behave well and is already potty trained. I saw someone I know shell out $5K to recarpet their apartment before being allowed to move out, and that's not something I'm interested in having in common with them. As far as handling the dog is concerned, I'm plenty active enough to take a dog on however long a walk it wants. I have a lot of experience with dogs, as my family has owned 4 throughout my life, all of varied personalities and difficulty levels in handling them. In order, from when I was younger to present day: - A goofy but very sweet and loving retriever/collie mix; - A timid Husky who was clearly an abuse victim, but perfectly well behaved. Literally never did anything wrong; - A large Great Dane with a mind of its own that eats whatever it wants and rough houses a bit too much; - A slightly less large Great Dane with a mind of its own that can be overly-Defensive and outsmart the nearby humans on at least a weekly basis, but is very clumsy and prone to minor medical issues So, I'd say I like my odds at getting along with my future furry friend. But who is it? I've always wanted a husky, but since the apartment living incentivizes me to seek smaller dogs, something like a Pomsky might be a better idea. (Although, if it were possible, I'd prefer the largest Alaskan Malamute I can find.) Any husky or smaller breed of one probably goes to the top of my list. However, that's just a preference, so it shouldn't rule anything out. Regardless of the size of the dog, feel free to contact me, as I also have an additional avenue to negate larger size dogs being an issue. I'm also looking other places than Craigslist to find a dog, such as the humane society and other online sites, so I may not choose one from here in the first place. However, choosing a dog is not a small thing, and finding the perfect fit - for the dog's sake, as well - means looking at and considering as many things as possible, so I'm casting a wide net. If there's a chance my post is relevant, do not hesitate to email me for further discussion. Thank you for your time.
