My two dogs I had in the past (they're both gone now) lived outside. They could occasionally come in for visits (and my last dog Savannah would get to stay inside sometimes when I lived alone), but they were outside pets.
I now have a cat (Little Feet) that was a stray at the apartment complex when we moved in. She originally wouldn't even come near us. We started leaving food out for her, then I would sit by the food while she ate, then she got to where we could pet her. She was considered an outside cat until recently when she decided that sleeping on our bed was much neater than staying outside.
I still consider her an outside cat (she's not litter box trained but other than a bladder infection we've had no inside accidents), but she's spending more and more time inside lately.
