GTI Home Exchange 'Pets Welcome' addition



Hi

Could I ask but do any of the owners allow dogs in their homes as I am a single person but would like to take my two dogs for company.

Hello Heather

Thank you for your email and your question about whether any owners allow dogs in their homes. Your question has come at the right time. We are about to introduce this option on our web-site as a result of an upgrade which is just about to be completed. A new symbol, 'Pets Welcome', will be added to the summary search results. Pets Welcome will appear on the membership form as an additional tick box option alongside the current Pet Care Offered and Pet Care Required options. The new option and symbol to easily identify homes where pets are welcome (once members start using it) is being added as a result of a GTI Home Exchange member request (many people like to take their pets on holiday, and more so in the future perhaps as many people may now choose to holiday within their own country in order to reduce their carbon footprint, and so to take pets along becomes much more feasible).

Whilst I cannot give you the exact date when the extra option 'Pets Welcome' will go on-line, it should be within the next week or two. Until that time, any members who are looking for exchanges where pets will be welcome so that they can take them with them, and are willing to accept them themselves, mention this in one of their Summaries about their home, surrounding area, interests etc. But the new option will soon make it much easier to identify and extract these exchange offers.

I hope that we shall have the pleasure of welcoming you as a member of Green Theme International Home Exchange in the near future. If you register before the end of August you will benefit from our summer promotion when the membership subscription is reduced from GB£25.00 to GB£21.00 or Euro equivalent. I will endeavour to remember to drop you another line as soon as the Pets Welcome option becomes operational.

Yours sincerely
Kath Botterill
