Opening the door to dogs and cats
From now on, it will be easier for renters to have pets. This means that more people will be able to open their doors to dogs and cats, and change their lives for the better.
This is a huge step forward. But we're not done yet. We're still working to make sure that even more dogs and cats can live in homes where they're loved and cared for.

Rosie and Vanessa's Story
Vanessa grew up with cats, and was sad to find out that renting with a cat in the UK can be really difficult. Her cat Rosie means everything to her, and when looking for a new rental property, she faced an unthinkable choice - Rosie or a flat. Thankfully for Vanessa, she was lucky enough to find a landlord who allowed tenants with pets. Sadly, lots of people aren't so lucky.
