Support pet-friendly housing in D.C.

Urge your council members to pass the Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2024!

The D.C. Council will soon vote on a bill that would make pet-friendly housing more accessible.

Lack of affordable housing options is one of the top reasons dogs and cats end up in animal shelters.

Bill 25-827 would help keep pets and families together by:

  • Limiting the amount of pet fees/deposits that a housing provider may charge
  • Prohibiting restrictions based on the pet’s breed, size, or weight
  • Allowing individuals with pets access to homeless shelters

TAKE ACTION: Send a personalized message to city leaders urging them to vote YES on Bill 25-827, the Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2024.
