They are opening up applications soon. I’ll apply. But I’ll have to make sure my partners gonna help financially as well as I can’t afford getting one alone. He will have to move to my place.

At some point yes, or we will move in together elsewhere. Otherwise my mum will always be there and I’m not sure how comfortable he’ll feel.

Yeah, I can see how it’d be difficult to move in with someone while they’re still with their family. It can be a complex scenario. But maybe it will be nice!

They will want to see that you have stable housing and can financially afford the dog.

Personally I wouldn’t get an assistance dog if you’ve never owned a dog before in the past

i agree with froge and wave. dogs are a BIG responbsibility. i really dont like how they use them a lot as if they can just do a job. if u get a dog u need to be commited to it til the day it dies of old age. you need to be able to afford to take it to the vet. and depending on your partner for that isnt good because something could happen in that relationship and dogs live a very long time. you need to know u can take care of it for probably at least 13 years.

Well I part own this property I live in. My partner will be able to afford the dog. I can’t do it alone.
I think you are secure enough in your relationship to plan for assistance from your partner. Dogs are a big responsibility but I think you are up for the challenge if you believe you are.

We are getting a dog together so we will be responsible for the dog together. I can’t afford everything on my own. I don’t work.
I think youd make a great dog owner Milly and dogs arent expensive to keep except for the vet bills if it gets sick. Maybe you could get insurance for that but i dont know the cost i imagine it would be expensive.

Yes they won’t give me the dog without making sure the dog will be ok. And even then I might not get the dog. They have limited resources

I’ve lived in this house for 38 years. I think I’m in a stable home and wherever I move to next I’ll be in a stable home. I’m just trying to say I can’t do it alone on the application form it even says someone else can also help look after the dog. I’m not relying on him 100 percent financially. Im just saying I won’t be 100 percent looking after the dog on my own.
My dog is not trained to help me but he does a lot for me and I do a lot for him

If they think I’m not suitable they won’t give me the dog, I’ve just never had the experience or training a dog. My partner has had family pets though.
