But as samurai said, it is hard to look for a pet friendly apartment. Even a japanese friend of mine found it hard to search for that kind of apartment.
If your Japanese employer found you an apartment, then that is where you are living. Saying "I want to find a pet-friendly apartment" is the same as saying "all the time and effort and money you spent on getting me this apartment was a waste." In other words, you might as well give him the middle finger. Not a good way to start a working relationship. (Did you tell him you needed a pet-friendly apartment when you got the job?)

Anyway, as far as I know, a 6-month quarantine is required for dogs and cats moving to Japan, so you would be separated from your pet for your first 6 months in Japan (unless the laws have changed).

Find someone at home to take care of your dog while you are in Japan.
