Australia has the third highest pet ownership in the world, which often causes heartache for retirees looking to downsize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many discover during the relocation process that a number of retirement villages have a \u201cno pets\u201d policy.<\/p>\n

Abervale and Tannoch Brae are two over 55s communities in Geelong that not only welcome residents but their beloved pets, which has proven to be a massive drawcard for residents.<\/p>\n

Tannoch Brae residents Brian and Julie Brylow said the fact they were able to bring their Burmese cat was a major factor in them choosing the village.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have gone anywhere without bringing him,\u201d Ms Brylow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were so pleased when the Village Manager told us the village was pet friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both villages boast expansive gardens and large independent living units; a key reason pets are welcomed in these communities.<\/p>\n

Residents benefit from having a pet, with research showing animal ownership encourages people to get outdoors and interact with others more frequently.<\/p>\n

Studies have also shown pets encourage physical activity and have a direct link between increased life satisfaction and lower levels of loneliness.<\/p>\n

Steve Howarth, Lendlease Retirement Living General Manager (VIC) said that allowing small pets into Lendlease\u2019s Geelong villages was an important lifestyle consideration and means future residents and their favourite furry friend can feel at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving into a retirement village is a big move, made harder if you can\u2019t bring a much-loved pet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled we can offer this pet policy living option to our residents at Abervale and Tannoch Brae,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
