Yes, our co-op allows pets, but there are certain breeds of dogs that aren't permitted - Rotweillers, pitbulls, Dobermans. We encourage mostly smaller breeds and cats are allowed so long as you don't have more than two.
I see the attack type dogs are out and we always hear owners say, they wouldn't hurt anybody. Good they have some as they are a comfort to a lot of people. Thanks.
It's difficult to keep a large dog in a City apartment and there's always the factor that they might hurt someone. We have a lot of small kids in the development, so some breeds can't be trusted too much around them. Yes, pets - especially dogs - do add a lot to one's life.
