Henry Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi, I went to the Bristol dogs home (RSPCA) today because I am interested in re homing a dog, but was told i could not home a dog because i live in a maisonette because their rules state it must be a ground floor home. I have half a Victorian house which has been split into two homes. There is one flight of steps to get to the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room. I was wondering if anyone knows if the rules would be negotiable as I am very keen to re home a rescue dog rather than buying a dog/puppy? I have absolutely fallen in love with a dog their and I am gutted I was told I can't adopt just because I have a flight of stairs when you enter my home, just like most people have to their upstairs. I also have an enclosed garden which access is directly next to my front door, and live in a perfect area to have a dog as I live a 5 minute walk from miles of grass and fields and also a local park. Could any of this convince them to overlook the fact I have stairs when you first enter my house? Any help appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Going up stairs a lot often causes dogs problems with their legs later in life, that may be the reason for the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
