Looking for the old results?
It has long been proven FACT that pets offer love, companionship, comfort and a feeling of being wanted / needed. Yet, daily, adverts for houses or apartments for rent claim 'pets not permitted'. I'd love to obtain some feedback on this pool concerning that issue, please...
