1) Check the rules. Before bringing a new dog home, make sure you know your apartment complex’s rules regarding size, breed, pet rent/deposits, etc. Don't assume fido is allowed to live with you there.
2) Let your neighbors know about your new best friend. There are two good reasons for this.

1) Keep all young, old and short-haired pets inside. These types of pets are more vulnerable to cold weather and should not be left outside for long and without supervision.
