Dog-friendly housing near Somerville needed

[bettyw.livejournal.com]

My friend recently moved back to this area from out of state and got a job. He needs to move out of his temporary housing situation ASAP but is having difficulty due to owning 2 large dogs (whose presence is non-negotiable - he moved across the country with them). Please read his statement below, and if you can help email him at caith_threefires@yahoo.com I will also send him the link to this post and monitor any replies made. Thanks!

"Dog-friendly housing needed: Boston area peeps - finding a place to rent with two large dogs has become the impossible task. Craig's List is useless. I need to manipulate the "personal connections" network fabric and find something word-of-mouth. If anyone personally knows a landlord within 30 mins of Somerville who is ok with large dogs (German shepherd and a lab mix), or if you know of a networking resource specifically aimed at this situation, please let me know. I am "doggone" desperate."
