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!! Good Luck!

Also a police check is done. 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.

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 it depends from where you get your dog from

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.

They will like the fact it is totally secure. Go for it and good luck.
