@dannybee We also live in a house with no yard, but i really wanted a new dog. I started looking at the dog rescue groups and found Poppy! He was little-15 pounds, blind, toothless and had been living on the streets of Houston. He just looked awful but the two of us bonded immediately. For awhile, he wore a doggie diaper but quickly remembered house training. I take him for walks every day. Don’t get a puppy! They take too much work. And older dogs don’t live a long time—they just want a home and to be loved!
