nyc: I am moving to NYC this summer and own a seven year old German Rottweiler. He is a wonderful well behaved dog and I KNOW he can handle apartment living (as well as I being able to handle having a dog living in an apartment). My only obstacle is finding decent places in lower manhattan that allows this breed. Any thoughts?|||There are tons of dogs in Lower Manhattan. You have to find a Real Estate agent and make it perfectly clear, that you are looking for a pet friendly apartment that will accept your Rottweiller. You simply do not look or take any apartment that does not welcome your dog. Will it be difficult? Yes. Is it impossible? No. Just don't settle. BTW, there are tons of rotties, pits and other large breed dogs living in Lower Manhattan.|||Contact the Chamber of Commerce for the area you are thinking of moving to and ask for their "list of pet friendly apartment/housing." You will find something on that list---you may have to call several , before finding the right place for you and your dog. You could also use your internet to look into it too. You could also ask the ASPCA for a listing too.|||I do so hope you do find somewhere. I would agree that a 7 yr old rottie will be fine in an apartment. By that age they have slowed down a lot and as long as they are walked several times a day then he would be fine. It would be hard to find him a home at that age, or even a rescue that would accept him. We in rottie rescue do take in an older dog, but only one or two at a time, as it is hard to place them. All the best with this, and can't help as am UK.
