Request permission to keep an XL Bully

Loreburn tenants who own an XL Bully must ask for permission to have the dog on their property.

Those who have an XL Bully without permission will be reported to Police Scotland for investigation under the Dangerous Dogs (Designated Types) Scotland Order 2024.

New tenancies will not be offered to households owning XL Bully dogs. Similarly, requests from tenants to bring a new XL Bully dog into their household will automatically be declined.

To request permission, fill in the form below and we will be in touch with our decision. Please note that you can only upload one document or image per field.
