Does the dog ever come in or does he live his whole life outdoors?

Nothing breaks my heart more than to see a dog outside crying to get in and be close to the family it loves.

I'm in an apartment and I don't have a backyard to just let my dog out too, so I have to do that extra work of taking her for long walks and letting her tire herself out. She's a husky mix and boy is she ever energenic. She's in a crate when I'm at work or else she'll chew the house down to the foundations.

The shelter was only looking out for the dogs well being. Some rescues/shelters do home visits.

Some shelters would never allow me to adopt from them because I don't have a yard. That's okay by me. They are only looking out for the dogs well being.
