AGSDR apologizes for this
inconvenience...but...
it would be inappropriate for us to put a previously rescued dog
in jeopardy due to leasing arrangements.
|
We get too many
dogs in rescue because someone's landlord either creates, or decides to
enforce, a restriction on pet weight, breed, or just pets in general.
Usually the poor dog comes out on the short end of the stick because few
people actually say "hey, I'll just move so that I can keep my family
member"... instead, they give up their 4-legged companions so they can keep
their rental home. We're not suggesting that any particular
individual would do this, but many do, so AGSDR must act in the best
interest of the dog and require proof of landlord permission. |
|
We'll
need a letter from your landlord with a signature/date on letterhead.
The letter MUST: |
 |
Indicate that you have full permission to own a German Shepherd Dog (specifically) on
the premises
for the duration of your lease. |
|
|
Indicate that the permission is applicable to any lease
extensions or lease re-negotiations, regardless of any changes in the
property pet policies. (This is basically a "grandfather
clause" that says any changes to the property's pet policies which
would disallow renters to own a German Shepherd Dog on the premises
will not apply to this specific dog.) |
|
|
Be
signed by someone with the authority to grant this permission as an
addendum to your rental contract, for example by the actual owner or
responsible party for the property. |
|
|
|
|
That document must be
scanned and emailed
to
AdoptApp5543@yahoo.com. Not
faxed, not mailed, so please don't request information
regarding faxing or mailing. If you don't have a scanner, try Kinkos,
OfficeMax, a copy center, or wherever is convenient for you. |

Thank you for understanding that our job is to work in the dog's best
interest, and we are NOT trying to make adoption impossible for renters.
All of our GSD's need a good loving family, and we hope that both renters
and homeowners have the opportunity to share their homes with a wonderful
GSD. |
