Residents of The Sanctuary apartment building in Jacobs Island in Cork have been told that pets are no longer allowed, writes Claire Anderson.

“Having pets will now be in breach of the House Rules and you will be asked to remove pets from the apartment if they are found to be on site, for any duration.”

Existing tenants have been given until November 30 to comply.

Speaking on Cork’s RedFM, Martin, who is a resident, says trying to relocate within two months is practically impossible.

“How hard it is to get a new house or apartment, and with permission for a dog? It’s just crazy.”

The C.S.P.C.A. in Cork currently have 66 animals up for adoption.

Now, animals who do have a loving home, may have to be put up for adoption as their owners are left with slim living options.

“Dogs with loving families and homes, being thrown out? This isn’t just a dog it’s a part of the family.”

Keenan Property have been contacted for comment.
