Moving to Harar in August- considering bringing my dog

I will be moving to Harar in a few months from the US and am considering bringing my small dog with me. I have talked to several people already and understand there is little access to dog food in the country and I would have to work around some of the logistics like housing and getting someone for watch him when I am out in the field (I do research).  I wanted people's opinion how well received he will be and if there are any other issues I am not considering (of course I will have the appropriate immunizations etc and he is very well behaved and trained and small).
