Parliament to change the law for private and council to allow pets

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Everyday we as a dog rescue get many calls from owners saying they are having to find new homes due to landlords and councils saying they can't keep there dogs in the properties.
This is putting a huge pressure on rescues like my own rescue.
lets help people with pets to stay with there family's
Our friend is recently going through this she's had to leave private accommodation, so she went to the council for help, where she was placed in a temporary house but wasn't ok to have her three lovely rescue dogs. She decided to keep them there in the day but has now received a 21 days eviction letter to find her own accommodation (private) which she just can't afford.
The system is so unfair and many pets are loosing there family's because of the councils.
Please help us get this changed.
