I agree it seems daft.

I can only assume it is something to do with home checks but considering that I have had 4 RSPCA home checks due to the various rescue work I do, plus I'm the cat re-homing officer for my local RSPCA branch, I also foster for my local RSPCA .... And .... I am a fully trained home checker myself.

I would have thought there is enough paperwork on me in the system to prove that I am a responsible pet owner.

What a shame the dogs will lose out on the loving homes outside of the area.

I have in the past re-homed cats through the RSPCA nearly 70 miles away!

If people are willing to travel then I have no issue.

Like you said people drive miles for pedigree's and breeder's don't turn them away.
