The ManxSPCA has seen a increase in people bringing their pets to the charity due to accommodation issues.
Three dogs and three cats have been taken in because their owners could not find a rental property that would allow them.

Meanwhile the chairman of the Isle of Man Landlords' Association says there are various reasons why people don't want pets in their rentals.
Maintenance, damage to property and other tenants or neighbours with pet allergies are just some of the reasons according to Alan Burrows.
He says government hasn't helped the situation by 'interfering' in the rental market:
