"Quiet area with sidewalks to take dogs for walks. Would recommend having a fenced in backyard for your dog where you frequently check on them when outside as kids/adults alike walking around can intentionally tease, agitate your dog. Some don't take good care of their dog and dogs run loose so if you love dogs, you'll constantly be taking dogs in to try to find their owners and return them to safety instead of dumping them at ARL, which has a kill policy.
