Ask your Florida legislators to support House Bill 941 (SB 942).

UPDATE 4/20/23: This bill has PASSED THE LEGISLATURE! It's now waiting on the Governor's signature. Send a message asking Governor DeSantis to sign!

Currently, a variety of dog breeds are restricted in public housing, making it difficult for families with pets to find stable housing during an already-difficult affordable housing crisis.

Breed/size restrictions use government funds to force families to either surrender their pets to animal shelters (at a cost to taxpayers) or choose potentially unsafe or unstable housing.    

House Bill 941 / Senate Bill 942 would end breed and size restrictions in government-funded housing, helping families with pets stay together.

TAKE ACTION: Ask Governor DeSantis to sign HB 941/SB 942 into law.
