I would have liked to send this privately, but since the original poster
was anonymous, I can't--so I will just have to deal with the wrath of
Eric. Sorry in advance. I volunteer at a Humane Society, and I CANNOT
let stuff like this slip by, especially since we often get animals in
for this very reason.

I have rented in many places (and am renting still) with pets--never
less than 1 cat and 1 dog, right now 2
dogs and a guinea pig. You can ALWAYS find rentals which allow
pets--even large ones. It may not be
exactly what you want (I personally would have liked a balcony) but it
can be
done, especially if that's your top priority. Her other option is to
leave the
pets with a friend while she starts the job and looks for a house.
