Animal Welfare Professionals

The Institute for Human-Animal Connectinon (IHAC) is thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new study in collaboration with Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) to assess the effectiveness of pet deposit assistance to prevent long-term pet relinquishment for tenants with pets and the role this assistance may have in improving renters' housing security.

This study will be the FIRST to assess the effectiveness of these programs and explore whether pet deposit assistance is a cost effective tool for animal shelters.

This sounds like a very interesting study! Is there a way to stay updated on the findings once they are released?
