Owning a dog in Lebanon

Dog is such pet, that should stay near owners. It is not like a horse, these animals very attached to people.
In worst case they can be guard dog, but their life usually miserable, and still they interact with their humans several times per day.
Also if you have no experience, better to take care about some animal in BETA, become his patron, learn how they behave.
If dog will grow not like you want (and its very possible - as you cannot give him enough attention and love), what you will do? many people abandon pets... and thats terrible.

I cannot stress this enough.
If you don't have time for your pet, taking care of him, giving him attention, cleaning after them, having patience to deal with them sometimes especially with puppies.
Do not get a dog.

And in your case, boarding your dog everyday in a facility or with someone, is a big no no.
Your relationship with the dog will be weak, and you will end up abandoning it.

All of the above mentioned apply most to big breed dogs, especially the troublemaking part.

What you can do, is get a small breed, like a loulou, or pomeranian, pug, chihuahua, corgi etc.. and keep it in the house.
Make sure the first thing you do, is to potty train them.
Even when you're not in the house to take them down to potty, train them to do it in a specific area in the balcony.
That's what I did with my German shepherd as I did not have the time to take her down all the time to potty, so she just went out in her spot in the balcony and do her thing. My job would be cleaning after her when I come home.

I bet the small dogs do not need that much looking after i.e. they cannot make as huge messes as the big ones.
So try adopting a small breed puppy or dog.


---Edit----
I forgot about the part where pets are not allowed in your apartment.
If your question is that if it's ok to get a dog, and keep it boarding in some place just so that you'd visit them at night after work daily, then the answer is NO.
But if you can sneak a small dog in your apartment, that would work, just try what I mentioned above.

I am having a bit of trouble comprehending. For me a pet stays at home and you enjoy their company around when you are home.

In your scenario, you are taking care of a dog but I don't know if the concept of ownership applies.

Maybe you can care for someone else's dogs, walk, train, etc them. Many persons have dogs but are short on time or motivation. There is actually a job for this - it's called dog walker.

Anyway, sorry I got carried away. I do not know such place where your dog can live away from you. Usually places are designed around temporary stays - where you can put your pets for a few days or weeks while you go on vacation.

Maybe BETA will be happy for you to pick a dog from theirs, and take care of him and train him, and maybe take him home if your situation changes. However you have to see whether they are willing to "reserve" the dog and not give him away for adoption to someone else (unless you are OK with it).

I want to commend you for considering the various aspects of pets beforehand and considering the level of commitment which is needed.
