Dog inclusive housing has become quite the hot topic and we're so excited to spend half a day chatting about it next Wednesday at Camp Maddie: Pet-Inclusive Housing! I'll be giving a presentation on, Dog-Inclusive Housing: Why It Matters and How It Impacts Families Nationwide at 10am PT.
Dog-inclusive housing isn’t just about allowing pets—it’s about keeping families together and creating healthier, more compassionate communities. Across the country, many pet owners face tough choices due to housing restrictions, often having to give up their dogs. By embracing dog-inclusive policies, we can help families stay together and create neighborhoods where pets are valued as part of the family.
In this presentation I’ll share insights from over 13 years of advocating for dog inclusive rentals, showing how dog-inclusive housing improves both mental and physical health, lowers stress, and keeps pets out of shelters. We'll break down the real impact this has on families and communities nationwide, and discuss how everyone benefits when housing is accessible to all—pets included.
