We have a neighbor who lives in a 2 bedroom patio villa (just like us) and he has a full grown shepherd mix (big dog) and he manages to make it work. He takes him for walks and the dog isn't in the yard alot without his master.
While I can appreciate that you rescued the poor little guy, didn't you realize when you bought the house that it was, in your mind, too small for the animal that you made a lifetime commitment to? I believe that when you adopt an animal, you make lifetime commitment to love and care for that animal. How sad that the dog has to be the bearer of your ill-planned move (I say ill-planned because when most people buy houses they have ALL the members of their family in mind when considering the purchase and that includes your furry family members).
Maybe you can hire someone to walk him when you aren't home (are you not home due to work?). This just makes me beyond sad.
