Dogs in housing

Taylorsgirl1991

Hi everyone I’m new here, I’m in need of some advice, I am 34 years old and diagnosed autistic and adhd among many other mental illnesses , I’m about to be without a home in July after I finish university due to the death of my father, I have also got my dog Poppy who I can’t survive without her, I’m very scared I’d have to be separated from her as I’m applying for housing through the counci/housing authority l and that would cause severe emotional turmoil, I’ve tried to get a letter from my gp to say she is key for my mental wellbeing and mental stability but they refused to do that, I’ve tried to call everywhere that could help but nobody wants to help me…

any advice on how I’d be able to keep her with me would be appreciated…

thank you

  • Temporary accommodation might not accept a dog. Permanent housing usually does unless it's not seen as suitable for a dog. I've lived in social housing and they accepted pets. If you're applying for housing now then just make sure it accepts pets.

    I hadn't thought about this till you said it, but there is social housing flats nearby and most of them have dogs, so it must be to do with the place?

    If you do end up in temporary that don't allow pets, see if someone could help you out till with looking after her maybe till you get a place she can move in with you?  Not the best option, but it helps to not think of anything as final, and only a step to where you need to get to.
