Growing up I had a Staffordshire bull terrier (BEST DOGS EVER) and we could leave her in the backyard for up to 7ish hours a day when we all went to school and work, but she had space to run around and play back there.

She was perfectly fine by herself and was the happiest, best dog EVER, doesn't shed, a family dog, and so FRIENDLY. We were also committed to walking her for a long time every day or ran around in the backyard with her when we were home so that helped, but all in all, she was super low maintenance. She wasn't a rescue though!
