Dog Friendly Retirement Villages
At Freedom Living, we know your dog is a big part of your family. They’re there for morning walks, quiet evenings at home and countless cherished memories. So, when it comes to choosing a retirement village, it's only natural to want to find somewhere that welcomes both you and your four-legged companion.
A Welcoming Pet Friendly Retirement Community
We’ve taken this understanding and put it into practice in our villages, with all of our retirement villages allowing dogs in apartments and outside areas. Retirement is there to be enjoyed, so Freedom Living homeowners can continue enjoying the companionship, routine and happiness that comes from living with a beloved dog.
Pet Friendly Retirement Living
Our goal is to make the decision easy for people looking for a dog friendly retirement village, so you can begin your next chapter together, enjoying all the benefits of independent retirement living without compromising on companionship.
Moving home is a significant decision, and leaving a pet behind simply isn't something most dog owners want to consider. Trust us, we get it.
That's why our retirement villages are designed to welcome both homeowners and their four-legged friends, allowing you to continue enjoying the lifestyle you love with your dog by your side.
Bring Your Dog to Your New Retirement Home
We believe your retirement home should feel like home for every member of your family, and that includes your dog.
All of our retirement villages allow dogs in your apartment and outside areas, meaning you don't have to choose between the retirement lifestyle you want and the companionship of your best friend.
Whether you're heading out for your morning walk, relaxing together in your apartment or enjoying the surrounding village grounds, your dog can continue to be part of your everyday life.
Why Pets Make Retirement Even Better
Research has shown that dog ownership can support both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Some of the many benefits of having a dog include:
- Daily exercise and fresh air
- A sense of routine and purpose
- Companionship and emotional wellbeing
- Opportunities to meet like-minded neighbours
- Encouragement to explore the local area
Everything you need is here, even my cat has settled in beautifully.

Woodland Walks, Right On Your Doorstep
Every Freedom village offers beautiful outdoor space for you and your dog to enjoy together, and each has its own character. At The Red House and Boughton Hall, acres of landscaped gardens make for a lovely daily stroll. At Mount Battenhall, it's a woodland walk that sets the scene: a peaceful, gently sloping path beneath a canopy of towering, centuries-old trees, many protected for their significance to the surrounding conservation area and the historic grounds of our Grade II* listed Italianate mansion. Wherever you call home, there's a beautiful path waiting for you and your four-legged companion.
