Pets are part of this veteran’s family

Editor, the Advocate:

Here is an interesting question maybe someone can answer? Why is it that you see all these “Support our troops” yellow magnetic ribbons on so many Victorians’ vehicles, but I can’t even find a house to rent in Victoria because of me having pets! I am a 21-year Army veteran soon to retire and return back to Victoria, but yet I can’t find anywhere to live? “Support” in all aspects! I would rather live outside on the street than to give up my dogs. They, too, are my family and have endured me being gone, and I consider them part of my family. I have found one Realtor in Victoria who’s willing to accept pets but requires a “pet nuisance” clause and outrageous pet deposits! It’s quite a shame that it has to be this way, and I understand that some have ruined it for all, but my two dachshunds are my kids and I would never part with them. Will I find a house to live in with my wife and dogs? Maybe “not” in Victoria, the way things look now.
