I have no choice but to keep looking
Pet friendly but you have breed restrictions???

When I was looking for a dog at the pound, I found the sweetest pit Bull. She looked about 6 months old, not skittish, not hyper, just had a really good disposition.
I went out, told them I wanted her, and was told no. Many county pound will only release pits, rotts, mastiffs, etc. to official rescue organisations and will not let individuals adopt them.
This was Rockdale co. They even had a cane corso(sp?) That looked like he weighed 200lbs that day, he was of limits also. He seemed like a good dog also. I only asked about him because they ran down the list of restricted breeds, and asked about the corso, because that need wasn't listed.

Not just the landlords. Most insurance carriers have the "viscous dog list" and will not insure properties which accept these breeds. Many policies will not pay claims for bites, etc.
Only got bit once and it was by a lab.
Had the same issue with getting homeowners insurance. Quite a few companies said my Great Dane was considered an aggressive breed.
