There’s No Place Like Home: How to Advocate for Pet Inclusive Housing
Mar 19
—
Mar 19
Families surrender beloved pets to shelters every day because people can’t find housing for the whole family. This is a major issue for pets, people, communities, shelters, and rescues — and it’s a problem we can solve together.
Learn about innovative pet-inclusive housing advocacy efforts around the country, and leave with new solutions for communities and organizations of any size. Our expert panelists will dive into ordinances, coalitions, relationships, data, and how to persuade elected officials that pet-inclusive housing isn't an animal welfare issue — it's a community welfare issue.
