This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Allow pets of the homeless to also be allowed into all forms of council housing.
After Fife Council rejected me for temporary accommodation, I became homeless. It was because I have two dogs (both relaxed and obedient) - my family.
This petition is to change policy and make sure that nobody should have to be separated from their beloved pet(s) just for temporary accommodation.

My name is John Hunter and this is my story. --> https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/fife/525139/everybody-looks-like-im-scum-ill-health-left-fife-man-facing-misery-homelessness/
I don't know where I'd be without my dogs and would rather be homeless than leave them (even for a short time). I strongly believe that nobody should have to decide between a roof over their heads or their pets. It is just not right in this day and age.
