As Ireland's rental accommodation crisis deepens, hundreds of pet owners are being forced to surrender their beloved animals when they can't find pet-friendly homes
Rescues are becoming overloaded as rental crisis continues and loving homes are forced to surrender their dogs.
Ireland’s worsening rental crisis is forcing more families to give up their beloved pets, as animal welfare groups warn that the situation is becoming critical.
Leading charity Dogs Trust Ireland says too many renters are being forced to choose between keeping their dog and finding a new home. They have recently launched a petition to urge the government to change the law and stop allowing blanket bans on pets in tenancy agreements. Dogs Trust believes Ireland's current rental laws do not provide enough protection for tenants who are dog owners and want the law to change to introduce fairer rules for renters with pets, while making sure landlords and their properties are also protected.
