Home Q&A: I want to adopt a dog, but my garden is not fenced

My garden is very rural and not enclosed, but I am at home most of the day. What can I do to change the animal charities' minds? 

Even a small breed like a Jack Russell terrier should be carefully fenced in overground and underground to prevent the dog from tunnelling. File picture

QUESTION

I’m trying to adopt a dog, but I’m finding the rules from animal charities so restrictive. My garden is very rural and not enclosed, but I am at home most of the day. What can I do to change their minds?
