  1. I turned up during their opening hours (checked on the website). They had about 5-6 large dogs out in the yard in front of their office, carrying on as I walked up. I talked to a lady for a while, explaining what sort of dog we were looking for etc. Then she told me that because we are renting, we had to get written approval from our landlord and present it to their committee... Wouldn't let me come in to see the dogs they had, to see if we even wanted to apply for one?

    The other shelters I've been to were happy to let me come in and meet some dogs, before vetting our living situation. :shhh:

    I have heard similar stories about them, they seem to be over the top a bit with the criteria they have for rehoming. I have heard they refused to adopt dogs out to elderly people as they may not outlive the animals - all this is hearsay, stories from other people but they have been consistent about the level of questioning etc they have to answer in order to qualify to adopt their animals. Perhaps they have a very small return/failure rate due to this I am not sure

    I do know that when I looked after a couple of dogs for someone moving house, who did a runner on the dogs after she left them with me, and I needed to give them to rescue - they refused to take them or help me find a solution. Ended up seeing Shenton Park Dogs Home - they were awesome
