In need of room/have a dog (Lexington/Irmo)

Hi! My name is John.
I'm moving back to the Lexington area in January and it been difficult finding an apt that will take a large dog.
He is a Sheperd Mix, 9, and extremely well behaved/trained.
I myself am a 39 year old Security professional currently living in my hometown of Buffalo.
I lived in SC from 21-22 and will be returning soon.
I can pay 3 months rent and security up front.
Perhaps 6 months given the right conditions.
I'm looking for a year lease.
I am clean, courteous, respectful, and a great cook! My father lives close by however is very allergic to dogs.
Otto gets along great with dogs/ cats.
Feel free to contact me by email with any further questions! Much thanks for considering and God Bless!
