Adopted Puppy from Shelter

Hey Guys

​

My girlfriend and I live in a ~500 sq ft studio apartment in NYC.

​

We have both been really been excited about getting a puppy and were able to adopt a 2 1/2 month beagle mix from a shelter last friday.

​

It was tough getting use to his schedule and energy but we had been doing well for about a week. He didn't have his shots yet so we had to be careful when handling him outside but our building included a nice little park that we would take him to play.

​

When we would go back to our apartment he would get really sad and cry about wanting to go outside. One of our doormen said this type of dog needs a full backyard to play in and he said he has one and would love to take him from us and give him a better life.

​

I feel so torn about giving up our puppy who I love very much and wanted your guys thoughts if we would make the right decision by giving him up to the guard. We have had him for a week now and need to decide on what to do.

​

Is it hurtful for the puppy to be in a studio apartment for his life and only being able to get out once in a while?

​

Any advice would be great!

​

Thank you!
