Pet Supplies

I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, NE. I currently have an 11 pound silky/affen mix and am looking for a companion for him. My apartment allows dogs, I have experiance housetraining and lease training and can provide excellent references (personal and vet), but no local rescue org will consider me specifically because I don’t have a fenced in yard.
Does anyone know of any orgs who aren’t so biased?

I have been looking at websites for dog adoption, but some of the applications are crazy. One wanted to call my supervisor at work to verify my income, poistion, how long with the company, and get a reference. Another one wanted to do a home inspection, and I had to agree to “follow-up visits, which will sometimes be unannounced, anytime between 8am and 9pm” after adopting the dog.One wanted my Driver’s lic number and social security number. Yet another wanted a credit/backround check!!I have had dogs before, I understand pet ownership is not for everyone, but I really think these organizations, while I am sure they mean well, are overdoing it. I love dogs, but I will not agree to someone causing a problem for me at my job (my boss might think I am looking for another job)or showing up at my house anytime they want and demand to reinspect my house and see my dog.

What can do to prevent these problems. Is it a good idea to train the dog. Should i get it nutered?

I saw the cutest cat EVER in the pet store – she was up for adoption. I really wanted her; but my mom is not up for it. Also, I have a 1 year old golden retriever. I am not sure how to convince my mom to get the kitten. I also am not sure how the dog and cat will get along!
PLEASE HELP!
