    Thanks so much to those who were able to join us today for our webinar The State of Pet-Inclusive Social Service Delivery: A National Snapshot of How Agencies Support Families with Pets. @Claire Schuch and I were so excited to share the results from our survey of 209 US Social Service Agencies! We were also excited to see all of the great conversation and idea sharing in the chat. Please feel free to continue to ask questions, share ideas, and explore future collaborations here!

    We'll share the link to the webinar here for those who missed it as well as the data report and toolkit when they are available, so follow along!

    Fantastic! I was telling Claire yesterday, I have a prior student who works at the state in the subsidized housing unit. They are seeing the overlap here more and more, and there was already concern. The more we can pull social services, animal care, and more into alignment, the better it will be for everyone.
