Keeping Pets at North Star
We know that having a pet can be really good for people. Pets give love, comfort and company. They can also help you feel less stressed, keep your heart healthy, and make you feel happier.
North Star is happy for people to have pets – not just cats and dogs! Pets can be all sorts of animals. If you’re thinking about getting a pet, please talk to us first. Your housing officer or support worker is the best person to ask.
Sometimes, we may have to say no to a pet – but this only happens in rare cases, and we’ll always talk to you about it. Most people who own pets take good care of them, and we know that.
It’s important that pets are well looked after and don’t bother other people. We expect pet owners to be responsible. If a pet causes a problem, we may need to step in and help sort it out.
If you need help looking after your pet, there are groups like your vet or the RSPCA who can give you advice and support.
If you think an animal is being hurt or not looked after properly, you can report it to the RSPCA.
