Just Ask Pasha • Apartment dogs

I live in an apartment, can I still adopt a greyhound?

You have a couch don't you? Greyhounds make great apartment dogs. Their energy level is, well, they're couch potatoes. What they really want is family to curl up to and watch TV.

If you don't have a fenced area, then you will need to commit to walking your greyhound four to five times a day. The benefits are fabulous. You receive the benefit of daily walking. You'll meet more neighbors than you ever you knew you had because they will want to meet a greyhound. And last, but not least, the bond you and your greyhound will build is awesome.

Just keep in mind, a day could come... It is 2:00 a.m., you've got the flu, temp of 101°, it is raining cats and dogs and 34° outside. Your greyhound has to go out, now. Are you prepared to keep your commitment?
