Hi Roxane! I have attached a few documents, including our resource guide for pet families experiencing homelessness, a poster we created for partners who provide shelter to post in their facilities, and then a copy of the body language and safe interactions training we did for Father Joe's staff. Hope this helps!

This was a wonderful presentation today! I was wondering if the presenters would be willing to share some of the documents they mentioned, like the Best Practices and Pet Handling and Safety Tips as well as the Animal Agreement. We work with the transitional housing in San Mateo County, CA
Thank you!

Updated 3/18/24 at 2:40pm PT - Recording is now available to watch on-demand!
We hope to see you on the next Community Conversations call on Monday, 3/18/24 at 11am PT for a presentation titled, "Help, They Brought a Dog! How San Diego Service Providers Keep Pets & People Together."
Co-sheltering, or the practice of housing humans and animals together at the same emergency or temporary facility such as a homeless shelter, is essential to trauma-informed practice, keeping pets with their families, and reducing service barriers for people experiencing homelessness. Join Jesse Casement, Division Director of Client Services at Father's Joe's Villages and @Lauren Rogers, Community Initiatives Manager at San Diego Humane Society, as they discuss how one of San Diego's largest homeless service providers committed to making all 1,048 of its shelter beds pet-friendly. They'll address common roadblocks to co-sheltering, including navigating space constraints, staff concerns and behavior challenges, and share practical tips for successful partnerships between human service and animal welfare organizations.
Register here for our Weekly Community Conversations Call taking place on Monday at 11am PT: maddies.fund/CommunityConversationsRegistration.
