We only have a small back yard and it is well fenced and secure with slabs down and a raised garden, I hope to rehome a rescue dog in the next couple of months, I’m worried in case this will go against me in the home visit!

no but we had an rspca inspector come out who was fairly odd, if we hadnt of had dogs around us as we were growing up he said he would of refused us! anyway when we went to collect our pup the girls that had them said he once refused someone because she didnt have a house phone!!!! how stupid is that???? good luck x
No, I know a couple who have had 2 rescue dogs and they have the smallest yard I’ve ever seen!
No I don’t think the size matters as long as you may it clear the dog won’t spend a great deal of time there and would we walked regularly. They will like the fact it is totally secure. Go for it and good luck.
As long as you are a loving person and you show you will provide everything for the dog that it will need, size of garden doesnt matter. You wouldnt confine your dog to the garden anyway so tell them about how you love walking and the places you can go when walking your dog, the garden is only going to be a late night toilet if that, as long as the dog has lots of exercise it wont need a big garden. Just also make sure that your garden is secure and fences are such that the dog wont jump them, thats what I got told when they inspected my garden, I had to put extra height to my fence before they released my dog.
My neighbour has just got a rescue dog and she lives in a ground floor flat with no garden at all. Which I feel is wrong.
yes im afraid it may goagainst you-but different dogs homes have different rules-my dad had a dog already but was refused a rescue dog because he worked part time and my friend was refused because she lived quite near a road-even though she had a secure good size garden-ring the home up first so you dont get disapointed at the last minute
i used to be an animal rehomer at a rescue centre, as long as you have a secure garden which you say you do then there shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you have the time to take the dog for regular walks
it depends from where you get your dog from
I got mine from a local dog rescue centre, they asked no questions and did not do a home visit but my sister was vetted relating to her work hours – how long would the dog be left alone and they checked the secureness of the garden but she already a large secure compound between her house + garage.
The only thing I think will be off puttin to them, will be the fact if you want a larger dog, so opt for a smaller dog – this will give you just as much love + fun as a large one
when they come out to your home they will look at the home,garden,and if you have other dogs they will want to see firstly if your dog gets on with the rescue one.
if you live in the country,these rescue homes tend to like this alot as the dogs can go for long runs.
Also a police check is done.
hi i think it depends on the size of the dog you are looking to re-home as a big dog would need a large garden , I’m in the UK too and there are so many dogs that need re-homing i don’t think the size of your garden will be an issue hope this helps and good luck , Tracey
Good Luck! I hope it all works out for you! As long as your yard is fenced and you have some room for the dog to play and do his business I will hope that those performing the home visit will use common sense!! It is ridiculous that so may are refused good homes because of some idiotic strict rules!! I hope all goes well for you and bless you for wanting to take in a homeless animal!!
