Good Points: Nice way to rehome a dog.
General comments: Battersea Dogs Home intentions are good however, the checks they run you seem to be excessive. I have nothing to hide but I recently applied to adopt a dog from Battersea Dogs Home after my American Bulldog died. I turned on my heels I'm afraid. I am a stay at home mum, my husband works but having a child is something they did not welcome. They also want to carry out a home check before I am considered a "parent" and then after to see how the dog is doing, they also wanted letters from landlords, details of local parks and their names to check! Too much hassle I'm afraid, I don't want home visits.
I'm all for shelters and understand what happens to animals (in particular Staffs) when in the wrong hands, but surely a nice family home not wanting home checks (I'm a bit private like that) is better than a tiny cage.
