It shouldn’t always be about the money.
I believe (as a long time dog owner) that dogs don’t belong in apartment buildings where they have limited time/opportunity to be outdoors and possibly to run free.
That said the vast majority of frum families live in apartments in concrete laden cities, not single family homes with fenced yards and space.
Caring for a dog teaches children responsibility.
My elderly, infirm MIL now lives with us. our smaller dogs give her a great deal of comfort and companionship and a sense of belonging.
I’d rather not go on vacations than give up having dogs. It is a matter of priorities.
