campaign is calling es making life even ess pet owners. ws columnist ports… a place h artbreaking le ng to choose a place to sleep king No-one should be sleeping ruff that bond to access shelter is to misunder- stand completely what animals mean to us. Compassion should never come with conditions. “We are a nation that prides itself on lov- ing dogs and that love must extend to peo- ple at their most vulnerable.

I am proud to stand with Street Paws in saying no-one should be forced to choose between a roof over their head and the companion who has stood by them through everything.” But sadly, for the moment, many pet owners are still being turned away from ac- commodation for refusing to abandon their pets.

Street Paws says these policies are actively keeping people on the streets. Founder Michelle Southern OBE has wit- nessed the heartbreaking conse- quences and says a change is desperately needed. She adds: “When ac- commodation providers refuse pets, they are not off ering help. T ey are issuing an impossible ultimatum. “No-one should be expected to surrender a beloved companion to access safety, warmth or support.”

T e charity, based in the north east of England, is now calling for an urgent change to Government housing policy. T ey want social landlords banned from unrea- sonably refusing pets where a risk assess- ment shows it is safe to have them. Michelle believes this one change would make a huge diff erence – and would be simple and practical to implement. She says: “It already exists in the private rented sector.

It requires no new legislation and no new funding – just clarity and compassion.” ● For more information about No One Left Outside, head to streetpaws.org. uk/campaign. ● To sign the petition, visit petition. parliament.uk/petitions/753095. RICKY Gervais has long been an advocate for animal rights. Last year alone, he donated £2.43million in profi ts from his Mortality stand- up tour to 22 animal welfare groups. T e comic did the same in 2024, when he gave away £1.9m from his hit Armageddon tour.

And now the critter-loving star, who once called dogs the “greatest thing on earth”, is backing a new charity campaign. Ricky, 64, is just one of the big names calling for an end to policies that can leave homeless pet owners without any support. About one in four people who are experi- encing homelessness have a pet. And many are forced to make the tough decision be- tween shelter and keeping their furry friend due to shocking exclusionary rules.
