A quick change to one of my previous posts...

my dogs are "harmLESS", not "harmful" as stated.

LOL

I was wondering if there are any homes or apts for rent that allow dogs? I have a basset hound and a bloodhound, bought as pups at different times and have been raised to be house dogs. (They love the AC!!). Looking through some of the websites for local real estate agencies I do not find any houses (preference) for rent.

I presently own a home in Indiana, retired Navy, have lived in Washington and Calif and like a lot of what I read about Alamo. I'm a bicyclist, into sports, old vw's and of course my 2 hounds.

I started thinking about buying a house before moving there but at this time I don't have time to visit the area to look around. So I thought of renting for 6 mos to a year so I could look in person at different properties along with the different neighborhoods.

Suggestions for a person with 2 dogs? (harmful)

Fire away...I'm listening

Most people have pets nowadays so for someone not to allow them would be crazy. I mean, they allow kids right? Most animals are alot better behaved.

We have a Game Stop in a little strip mall thing right next to WalMart and if he wants to rent them Hasting's has a pretty good supply. I know Game Stop buys used games, sells used games as well as new games. Oh and welcome to Alamogordo, how old is your son?

My son will be 18 in about a week.

Here in Michigan we have quite a few game stores popping up. My son is such a good customer that he often gets discounts from the sales people. I'm not from Michigan originally. I grew up in Oregon but have lived many p[laces, including Albuquerque and Carlsbad. My husband and I plan on making Alamogordo our permanent home. Hoping to buy some land and build a house.

Has he graduated already? How does he feel about moving to Alamogordo? It is not a favorite place with alot of teens as there is not to much to do. We lived in Carlsbad for almost 2 yrs and I was glad to be back here.

he has been homeschooled for the past 6 years and is on his last year. Is looking forward to taking art classes. I think he will like Alamo. He is kind of a loner, he has Asperger's/Developmental Delays, high functioning though. He is very active in the community here. We are all looking forward to the warm weather of New Mexico. We like to ride our bikes and go walking. I have a good feeling about Alamo. I am hoping we can find work right away. I lived in Carlsbad about 30 years ago. We considered moving there but I have heard so many bad things about Carlsbad that I kept looking and found Alamo.
