Pleasing 4 Pets

Dogs Trust released a report recently which showed that 75% of dogs are now panned from landlord’s private rental properties and now during very uncertain times with property and with more people renting privately than ever before it is expected that thousands of pets in Britain are at risk of becoming abandoned.

The Dogs Trust look after as much as 16,000 dogs currently who have come from owners who are finding trouble getting a pet friendly rental property and have had to reluctantly hand their pet over to the charity.

A recent national survey which involved 1,400 pet owners revealed that 14% of dog owners have tried to keep their dog as a secret from their landlord and a further 8.5% have had to hand their dog over to a rescue centre, in severe cases 0.5% of respondents’ have opted to have their pet put down.

Clarissa Baldwin, Dogs Trust UK said: “Even though a dog is for life, in some extreme cases, owners are having to give up their beloved pets or else face becoming homeless.”

Currently the Dogs Trust is in talks with the Association of Residential Lettings Agencies for developing a new campaign which will encourage private landlords to accept tenants that own pets which is called “Lets with Pets.”

Pet owners have been advised to provide full details of your pet to your landlord which should include; age, size, vaccination history and any references from a previous landlord.
