A while back i asked my landlord verbally if i could have a dog. they said yes. all been ok for 18 months. Then there was an issues with repairs for the house i was being charged for repairs that were not down to me. anyway i was told if i did not pay for the repairs they would evict me. I told them to do it. got my eviction day. council asked me why i was being evicted i told them it was due to repairs. Landlords told them it was due to repairs and because i have the dog. Anyway i had environmental health to my house to proove the repairs were not down to me. The council have said they are going to pay alot of money for the repairs. to avoid me becoming homeless. although in 5 years all the landlords have ever done is fit a new shower hose... But also i have been told i have to get rid of the dog. I dont have a leg to stand on as in tenancy it says no animals it was only verbally they said yes and i think it was because i refused to pay for the repairs so i feel it was done in spite.
The dog is the best ever. Hes 9 years old and he has had difficult time. he was with his first owner for most of his life then she had to rehome him. But then she found out the new owner was beating him and she got him back. He then came to live with me and my kids. he was quite scared and stressed when he first kept pooing in the house and every time we popped out he would be trembling and cowering in the corner. Was alwful to see. we just kept praising him and making a fuss when we came in. He no longer does it anymore and hardly ever messes in the house. only if left longer than he should be. When we are out he walks next to use with his lead in his mouth. all my kids can walk him as well. i will stop rambling...
He is a 9 year old staff. I did avertise him on fb pages i did get some messages but when i checked their profile/pics it was young people. and pics of them puffing. I dont want to risk him being used as bait/fighting. And alot of dog kennels/ rspca and such places put staffs down becasue there are so many of them his age is also against him. Anyway i was thinking about keeping him and every time landlord is due round. to get my 17 year old to take him for a walk. just make sure i fabreeze/ make house smell dog free... Just wondering what people think. thanks
