CDL and Dogs

I am looking to get my CDL and have it paid for, money issue. I am also looking for a company that will allow me to take my dog, she's my baby since no one at home anymore.
I have no ties at home so I could be gone as much as possible. I do not really need much hometime so that is not any issue.
I would like to do OTR solo. I have a couple of chances for company training but they are both teams.
I would like some help on which companies you believe are the best or at least ones to avoid. Especially need help with ones that allow dogs.
I had one option for solo OTR but their school would take me because of a DWI over 10 years ago.
I have been thinking about this for years and now that I have an empty nest it is the perfect time. I have been researching for the last month and had decided to start next month hopefully. But now it looks like I need to start sooner because I lost my job yesterday.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

 

May I ask why that is alot? There are alot of company sponsored training listed on the internet. I am only asking to be able to take my dog after training and go solo not team.
I would think not needing home time would be a bonus for a company.
Is this really asking alot? I would like to know.
I appreciate your input.

 

Actually I have been doing a lot of research on the internet and phone calls.
I have found the following that will take pets after you are done with you trainer and they pay for your school:
CSRT - Teams only - give 8 months
Wil-Trans - Teams only- give 15 months
FFE - give 1 year
Stevens
Werner
Midwest (MCT) - about 15 months

The following take pets after training but you have to have graduated already:
Arrow
CFI/Conway
USF Moore
Wel Companies

I am sure there are more but this is all I have right now. There are also a lot more companies if you have experience.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps someone.

 

I added some more companies on another thread I started which is: List of companies which take pets. Check it out.
