Hi all
I've recently changed my job and will be working from home now, so I can finally fulfil my dream to have a little dog. My partner and I would like to get one from a rescue centre but we have heard that RSPCA won't rehome dogs into flats. We live in a flat, we have a large balcony and are across the street from the beach so have virtually instant access to the great outdoors. There are 3 dogs in our building and the others don't have balcony access. We spoke to the neighbours about their dogs but they have bought them, rather than rehomed them, so didn't have to go through home-checks.
Does anyone know if the Dogs Trust would consider rehoming into a flat? Or would we be better off approaching a smaller, local rescue place who might be more flexible? I really wouldn't want to buy a 'new' dog when there are so many 'used' ones needing a home.
Any advice much appreciated!

Have you a DT centre any where near you ? You could try dropping in and asking them whilst having a little "look" around ?
too.
Good luck and let us know what they say.
I hope you have more luck than me!
Have you moved from Nottingham, only asking as you said you have the beach on your doorstep, if so you might be luckier than in a Town/City with rehoming centres.
