The reason, its a brand new 5 bedroom house that doesn't deserve to get dog poo and pee at this young age! We plan to live in it, so we don't want it smelling like dog poo or cat pee, although we did have cats negotiable. We just never got a cat family that showed up. Bird people were also negotiable and outdoor bunnies are welcome, if they remain outdoor. We had some dog families show up but we had to tell them we couldn't give the house to people with dogs. We do feel bad not giving it to them, but hey, its our house, and if we don't want dog pee on the carpets, its our right. Even the most trained dog or cat CAN have accidents.
Just wanted to state my opinion here. I have 3 dogs living in my house, and my house certainly does not smell like dog poo, it doesn't even smell like "dog" lol. Smokey is 16, and he often has accidents as he has some issues there with the old age. And of course Nebo had a couple of accidents when I was potty training him (although not much). They make products to take out the smell and clean it up nicely. Birds, cats and other pets can also have accidents. Of course it's obviously your right to not want dogs in the house, I just wanted to say that.....just because people have dogs in the house does not mean their house is going to be dirty and smelly....lol....course I suppose it doesn't mean that it wouldn't be either, but it would depend on the people...


And as far as the original topic, I'm very afraid of what to do if I want to move out. I would never leave my Nebo baby behind, and i know it's hard to find a place with what is considered a "big" dog. Oh well, I'll just have to deal with things as they come along.
