yea that landlord thing with pets is a bitch ..i guess you cant blame a landlord for not wanting pets when past residents didnt take nesacary steps to protect the property from pet related damege ...although ive seen people do far worse things to rental proerty than a dog ever could ..im not sure [ i move around a lot] but think it was tuscon AZ. that almost 1/2 of all rental adds in the classifieds said pets welcome ...it's nice to know that there are still a few places left where dog lovers are welcome with open arms ..
