Aww, I'm a softie for labs (a bit obvious, isn't it?) Well, first thing is that you will need permission from your landlord to keep a pet - as you would any where. The second consideration is how old is he? I'd worry a bit about a very old dog in the heat of the summer here. It's not difficult to import a dog from the US. I would use a pet relocator like dohavets.com. There are many ex-pats and nationals here who have dogs and salukis are a popular and large breed. There was a run on German Shepherds a few years ago as well. There are beaches for swimming and playing and a few parks for get-togethers. But you will need to research where and when to walk him in public. It's not just anywhere that's acceptable. A little knowledge and sensitivity and the two of you will be just fine.
