It looks like my husband and I will be moving to Santo Domingo this fall. We have a rescue dog that we have had for about a year. She was in a situation where the previous owner let the other dog in the house dominate and abuse her for a year or so, so she has come to us with a lot of fear/ and or hatred for other dogs (as in, she behaves as if she wants to attack, and sometimes tries. Though this is improving, she still has many issues). I have read that there are a lot of stray dogs in Santo Domingo . . .I am wondering if it is similar to other places, like Cuba and Mexico, where the dogs hang out in heavily populated areas or near cafes- or if they are just EVERYWHERE. Our employer is housing us in Bella Vista- are there lots of stray dogs in that area? Is there a park in that area that is good for dog walking- and if there is a park- are there many strays there? I am just trying to figure out if walking our dog or taking it out for exercise is going to be a challenge for us in that neighborhood.
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
