Respectful LGBT guy looking a home!

Hi there! I’m Dustin, a 43-year-old professional author and illustrator. Because of my line of work, I spend a good amount of time immersed in creative writing, visual storytelling, and design projects. I deeply value a home environment that is peaceful, organized, and grounded. When I'm not working on a project, I enjoy diving into nature-focused interests, exploring the unique character of the Pacific Northwest, and brainstorming community initiatives.### Lifestyle & Living Habits * **Cleanliness:** I keep shared spaces tidy and organized. I firmly believe a clean home makes for a clear mind, and I appreciate a shared routine where everyone pitches in to keep common areas comfortable and welcoming. * **Daily Rhythm:** My schedule often revolves around my creative work. I appreciate a relatively quiet, respectful atmosphere during the day to focus, but I'm always down for a good conversation or catching up at the end of the day. * **Communication Style:** I value direct, honest, and friendly communication. If something needs adjusting in the house, I prefer chatting about it early and constructively so everyone stays comfortable and on the same page.### Household Companion: Meet MooseI come as a package deal with my service dog, **Moose**, who is a Husky/German Shepherd mix. * He is exceptionally well-behaved, fully trained, and very quiet. * He is an integral part of my daily routine and a total professional, making him an absolute breeze to live with.### What I’m Looking For in a Roommate * **Respectful & Considerate:** Someone who respects shared spaces and understands the balance between personal downtime and casual social interaction. * **Good Communicator:** A roommate who prefers clear, proactive communication regarding household logistics, bills, and upkeep. * **Animal-Friendly:** Since Moose is a major part of my life, a roommate who is comfortable around a large, well-mannered dog is essential.
