[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not thrilled by the tone of many of the posts on this thread. Some of you are being unkind and to the point of being ridiculous.

I'm pragmatic about dogs and live in a neighborhood filled with dogs and children. From what I can tell, OP's parents have three small dogs, the little dogs typical of elderly people. We're not talking about three pit bulls.

These kinds of dogs are fairly low maintenance when it comes to how the property is treated. Children definitely will cause more damage than your typical grandma's little yapping dog. I would advise OP to adopt one of her parents' dogs and they find a rental with the other two. And it will be fine. And life will go on.

I love dogs but I love in an apartment building. A neighbor moved in at one point and brought three small dogs into their apartment. It was... cacophonous. Pets are permitted in our building (I have a dog) but not that many, and the barking was an instant nuisance. They went out for dinner one of the first nights they lived here and left the dogs for several hours-- they barked the entire time.

Multiple people in the building called to complain (me included) and it turned out their lease had NO pets on it (and no, they would not have been allowed to put 3 dogs, even small ones, on a lease). The dogs were gone within days, I think because the landlord threatened eviction because it was a lease violation.

Three dogs in an apartment is too many. It is unkind to neighbors AND the dogs. OP's parents should re-home the dogs or stay in a SFH.[/quote]
