sussex housing and care

Sussex Housing & Care operates a pet friendly policy across our properties. This encourages residents to bring their companions with them when they move in.

Within Sussex Housing & Care's independent living, sheltered housing and residential care homes, 75 animals are kept by residents. These range from cats and dogs to parakeets, goldfish and chickens!

Both residents and animals alike benefit from this pet friendly scheme, as many have been companions for many years.  Plus, moving home with an old friend often makes the transition easier for both owner and pet alike!

This policy received a gold award from the RSPCA last year in its Community Animal Welfare Footprint scheme. The RSPCA Footprint scheme seeks to promote good practice in animal welfare by local authorities and housing providers.  Find out more about the RSPCA Community Footprint scheme.
