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.
Register to join live on Thursday, March 19 at 4pm ET.
Learn about innovative pet-inclusive housing advocacy efforts around the country, and leave with new solutions for communities and organizations of any size. We’ll 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.
Our three panelists will share insights based on years of experience: Shannon Glenn, Executive Director of My Pit Bull is Family, on innovative approaches in Minneapolis; Jamie Blackburn, Housing Policy Specialist, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), on state-level work to break down housing stability barriers; and Kathleen Murphy, Policy Analyst, Best Friends Animal Society, to highlight national trends to inform and inspire your next steps — Kathleen is also a former Metro Nashville councilwoman. Arin Greenwood, Senior Strategist, Network and Advocacy Communications, Best Friends Animal Society, will moderate.
Whether you’re new to housing advocacy or already working with a coalition to pass pet-inclusive housing laws, this webinar will give you confidence, inspiration, strategies, and tools to help more pets and people in your community be together in homes. Bring your questions for the Q&A! Save your seat and join live.
