I often encounter the fact that volunteers do not want to give dogs or cats to private homes, only to apartments. On the one hand, I understand why this is so. Unfortunately, the attitude towards animals in villages is often uncivilized. But, on the other hand, I have something to compare with, because I lived with my dogs in an apartment. And now that I live with them in a private house, I can say that it is much more convenient and healthier for them.
Therefore, it will probably be right to look at a person, and not at whether he or she lives in an apartment or in a private house. Many of my friends live in such houses and I can confidently say that their dogs are loved, well-groomed and happy.
And I created this funny picture to show how my dogs would behave if I told them to pack their things and move to live in a doghouse outside. Oh, of course they wouldn't believe me, because even those of them, whom I once found wandering the streets, have been living in warm rooms for a long time, sleeping on the couch and considering their past just a nightmare
Certainly the difference is made by the person, not whether they live in an apartment or a house. I know people who have private homes and have their dogs chained up in the yard and others who have apartments and have their dogs barbecued on site while they go to work all day, without paying the slightest attention to them.
So I like to think that a responsible and proper owner will take very good care of their puppy whether in a private home or apartment...it's always great to adopt because you get a puppy out of that nightmare, as you rightly put it.....
I hope my dogs are happy. Maybe I can't give them as much time as they deserve, because there are sixteen of them and I'm alone, but I do my best. Now, during the war, many animals have lost their homes. I try to give them comfort and safety.
