Yeah I use two that don't get hot at all to the touch. Walmart $20. Complete with knock over shut down and overheat protection.

I'm currently wearing 2 layers of clothing, and am not too cold, but my hands are freezing. Also my dog is shaking because she's too cold, I want her to be comfortable while I go to work every day. The cats are covered in fur and they're fine. We have a heated ceiling that has never been turned on in the 2 years I've lived here because I don't trust it's safety, especially having seen all the shit that has broken down or flooded in my complex since I've been here. |

Also maybe 40 was an overexaggeration. Probably closer to 48-50. Either way, it's not comfortable.

You're right to be cautious of space heaters. If you end up with the wrong one and something goes wrong, the last thing you will have to worry about is your place being to cold because it could get very hot very fast when your couch is on fire.
What kind of dog do you have?

Just put the heater on a table. I used a quartz heater that was hot to touch but no flame and a tipover switch all 13 winters with my pooch. He never even went near it, but I usually put it on my filing cabinet anyway because it circulated the heat better in conjunction with my ceiling fan.

Ceramic blower heaters work fine. Cheap too.

One other thing to consider is the fact that some of those things draw some serious amps 12-15 for a 1500w heater. A space heater running at full power is the same as running 15 100-watt light bulbs. That is quite a lot of power in that little box. and for old houses with old circuits, especially the lowest-rated 15 amp house circuits, that’s a heavy load of electricity you’re pumping through that wall outlet.
