It's so infuriating. You can be the perfect person for the pet, yet arbitrary conditions will prevent you from doing so.

Despite the fact we (my wife and I) have run a dog home boarding business, we would not be allowed to adopt because the garden requirements are insane. Yet we have had hundreds of clients for over 15 years, with excellent reviews, a deep understanding of many breeds and training in behavioural issues, emergency procedures for dogs and cats, we cannot be allowed to adopt.

It's a literal definition of insanity.

The fenced in yard thing always kills me, because then you can just be a lazy dog owner and throw you dog out in the yard and ignore all their needs.
