Hi Port Alberni! I'm in search of a rental for myself, my partner, and our two dogs for around the beginning of January (date is flexible). A little about us... My partner and I are from Salt Spring Island, we're in our mid 30's, both environmentally conscious, we don't smoke, and we're relatively quiet people. He has worked in the silviculture industry for years and travels often for work, I have a full-time job in Port Alberni beginning in a matter of weeks! Our dogs are Benson (11 yrs) and Rupert (3 yrs)... Benson is a sweet older fella and about 50 pounds, he is probably one of the most relaxed dogs you've ever met, he likes to snooze the day away and get out on hikes from time to time. Rupert is about 30 pounds, he's a sweet loving guy once he gets to know his people, he's a rescue from California, he also loves extended wanders in the woods. Both of my dogs behave very well in the house, don't destroy anything and are fully house trained. Ideally we're looking for a one bedroom rental, a small house would be perfect but a lower-suite or upper-suite would be okay as well (as long as it has minimal stairs for my senior dog). A fenced in yard is a must for my dogs. Bonus additions to the rental would be a storage area for my partner's work tools, and a wood stove! We love to live rural, we're open to alternative ideas. Please be in touch if you think you can help us out! We can provide excellent references. Thanks kindly. (photo of myself and my little guy Rupert)
