Calling Large Dog Owners in SF w/ No Car

[elenya]

Hi! I have been seriously considering adopting a gorgeous sweet German Shepherd however not owning a car is really holding me back from applying. I’m curious to know if any pet owners of large dogs without a car in SF has had any troubles transporting your pet around or if you can give me any tips. I usually travel through Uber/Lyft but am worried that I will constantly get my ride cancelled once I tell them that I have a dog. Any advice?

@elenya I would ask this question in SF-specific subs. You’ll likely reach more locals there.

Hope they can help!

@elenya Uber has a line of pet friendly rides. https://help.uber.com/riders/article/pet-friendly-rides?nodeId=e4468070-c193-41cf-b792-fa66ecfb1163
Muni also allows dogs with muzzles during off peak hours https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/accessibility/muni/animals-muni
Are you a walker? German Shepards tend to be active, so they may be better suited for people who walk almost everywhere than those who take transport. Also check if your apartment has breed restrictions.
