Need a Place to Stay

I am basically beginning a new chapter of my life. After being assaulted by my ex boyfriend, I am trying start over, but by doing so, I also need to live by my current job. I have a dog, a bassador (basset hound/lab) who is house trained once he gets used to his surroundings. I am looking to live close to public transportation and hopefully close to my job. I would like a private room at least because I sometimes like to have my own space, but I am completely fine with sharing any other room. I love to cook so most likely if you would like to welcome me into your home as I go onto a new chapter of my life, you will also be well fed.
