Default Any Sheltie People Out there In Arizona?

We live in California and may have to be relocating to Arizona due to my husband's employment.... I was wondering....how dog/sheltie friendly is Arizona..the Scottsdale/Tempe area??? Any suggestions? Thanks! This will be a big change for us and having some knowledge will make the transition easier.

No, i think you will be the first Sheltie in AZ... LOL
Az is like any other State, if your buying a house not a big issue renting can cause some issues. But i think you will be fine.. BTW, its a good time to be buying a house in that area...

I have family and a friend that lives near Scotsdale, I'll ask them to see if they know. Obviously, even if it's pet friendly, I'm sure the summer months aren't. And on the upside, you're not that far from CA. My friend drives home every couple of weeks. She says you get used to it.

I'll keep you posted.

From my cousin who works in Scottsdale, but lives a bit further away.

"Beyond friendly, amazing how much people do for their pets. Also a ton of dog parks everywhere too."

Sounds great!

Oh thank you Cheryl! That's very encouraging to hear about the drive. We'd be doing a lot of "commuting," that's for sure. If your family can recommend any apartments or condo's in the area...we'd appreciate it. His company is actually in Tempe.

Both my cousin and my friend are now trying to talk me into it since I asked. I'm like, are you crazy? You guys talk about sandstorms, snow, 115 degree heat. Um, nah, I'll stay in SoCal thank you very much.

I can ask about the area/apartments, but not sure if they'll know. My friend lives out in Phoenix and my cousin lives WAY far north (but works in Scottsdale). Is it you and your husband? Kids? And 2 dogs? I can't recall if you have 2 or 1. 3? 5? I know, 12 Shelties. Better make that a baker's dozen. ;P

It's basically just me and my husband and the two boys. Spring is our daughter's baby. We'll still be spending as much time as we can here in Cali...basically calling both states "home" for awhile.

There are several Sheltie people in AZ though I don't know if any on are this site. You could probably contact any of them with questions. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link sites, so you can google them for contact info. Beki Vale is Sunnyvale, Kathy K is Istari, Laura Wilson is Wild West, Kathy Meek is Sandcastle, Linda Maynard is Spotlight. There are others I can't think of but they have a yahoo list that is primarily AZ people and that's sheltiefanciers.

Good luck :)

Thanks much Tami! Cheri K. Mentioned she knows many people (show peeps) that make this drive regularly. Looks like I need to make some new friends and maybe we can car pool! Lol
