‘The bright and affectionate Frenchie is charming. Dogs of few words, the French do not bark much, but their alertness makes them excellent guard dogs,” the organization explained.
‘They adapt happily to life with singles, couples or families, and do not require much outdoor exercise.
‘They get along well with other animals and enjoy making new friends of the human variety.
“It’s no wonder city folks from Paris to Peoria rely on this fun, friendly breed.”
Angelo also recommended that people living in an apartment adopt Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, which he described as “affectionate and gentle.”
Other breeds that he says adapt well to smaller homes include Pugs, Shih Tzus and Greyhounds.
“Despite their racing experience, greyhounds are perfect for more relaxed indoor environments,” he said of the latter.

First on his list was the Border Collie, which he explained is “very intelligent and requires constant stimulation.”
“Without enough space and activities, they can become restless in apartments,” he added.
AKC called the breed “extremely intelligent” and “workaholic,” adding that they are “capable of learning a remarkable number of words and commands, and are happiest when put to work every day.”
Angelo also advised against adopting Siberian Huskies if you have a small abode, as they are “natural explorers and vocal dogs.”

‘Every dog is unique. Regardless of breed, regular exercise, mental stimulation and training are key to having a happy and healthy pet,” he concluded.
‘Even dogs with low energy need daily activity to stay balanced. Temperament and adaptability are also as important as a dog’s size.
‘Finding the right dog for an apartment makes life calmer and strengthens the bond between pet and owner.
“When one dog adapts well to its space, both can really thrive.”
