The guiding principle that a residence should support successful dog tenancies, not merely allow dogs grudgingly.
Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
The guiding principle of the standard, used in its preamble rather than as an operative rule.
A residence merely permits dogs when it allows them grudgingly, through discretion, deterrent pricing, or blanket exclusions. A residence welcomes dogs when it supports successful dog tenancies through clear, consistent, fairly priced terms and provision for welfare.
The principle is delivered in practice through the standard's measurable requirements, not by this phrase.
Welcoming a dog means making it easy to live there well, not allowing one through gritted teeth. The phrase sets the spirit; the measurable requirements deliver it.
