Yes sure

in addition to a general lack of furnished accommodation in Germany (which, if available at all, costs 50-100% more than comparable empty flats), Munich has a serious shortage of housing, especially smaller and cheaper places.
If you really cannot opt for a serviced, short-term apartment (wich would cost double your budget), I recommend looking for an unfurnished place after your arrival - it makes no sense to start before, and the search can take several weeks to months. Do not tell prospective landlords that you will only stay a few months, but do mention your dog (although this will kick you out in many cases), if you cannot leave it at home (which I think is preferable given the difficulties).
You could also ask your employer for assistance in finding a place.

Oh I'm already in Munich and have an arrangement to stay until January. So I think it's better to get the word out now than later but thanks for your reply.

Oh yes, in that case you should of course start your search as soon as possible, given that rental contracts are usually signed two or three months before move-in.

Probably your best bet to find something affordable is to go to the University and find the pin-boards where students hang up advertisements. There are always people looking for, or offering, rooms or apartments. Finding a furnished place for limited time is usually expensive through normal channels. But often students spend a semester or two elsewhere, or go traveling, and want to keep their place and will rent for a normal or even discounted price for the specific period of time. The word to look for is "Zwischenmieten" or between renting. I don't know where the building(s) are where this is usual in Munich but just go and ask around.

Oh that's a great tip ... thanks !
