Leading charity Dogs Trust says too many renters in Ireland are being forced to make an impossible choice between losing their dog or losing their home because of a lack of dog friendly rentals.

To tackle the issue, they’ve launched a petition to urge the government to change the law and stop allowing blanket bans on pets in tenancy agreements.

The number of people contacting Dogs Trust needing to give up their dog because their move to a new home won’t allow their four-legged family member has increased by 112% in the last five years.

To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Communications Manager, Dogs Trust Ireland Phone, Paulina Padlo and Stiofán McGabhann from Clare Animal Welfare.
