  • 1.  Virtual Conference covering One Health

    Posted 03-06-2025 08:22 AM

    Registration is still open for the My Dog is My Home 2025 Conference. This is looking to be an awesome lineup of speakers, and is a great way to network both nationally and internationally with people and orgs working at the intersection of humans, pets, and housing (which is really human health/animal health/environmental health). If you haven't been to this conference before, you should register! (and if this has already been posted here, my apologies! I did do a search :) )

    Thank you @Vickie Ramirez for this post.
    I have attended the past few years and I know our entire team benefited from the various sessions. 

    Taken from their website:

    Register here - 3 days of programming for $130 OR only $75 per person for groups of 3 or more

    The 3-day virtual My Dog Is My Home Conference (Mar 25-27, 2025) brings together:

    • Leaders in the field of pet-inclusive housing
    • Individuals with lived experience of homelessness
    • Hundreds of representatives from human services and animal welfare nonprofits

    The My Dog Is My Home Conference aims to increase access to pet-inclusive emergency and long-term housing through workshops, webinars, stories of lived experience, art, community networking, and more.

    All of this happens online, so there are no associated expenses beyond registration. 

    A win-win-win for people, animals, and service providers-pet-inclusive housing:

    • Supports humans' mental, emotional and physical health
    • Saves hard-to-adopt animals from languishing or being euthanized in shelters
    • Frees space in animal shelters that are beyond their capacity

    This year's presentations include:

    • Dr. Kwane Stewart – CNN Hero of the Year & Instagram's @thestreetvet
    • Joy Moses – VP of Research and Evidence at the National Alliance to End Homelessness
    • Lori Weise – Subject of the book Rethinking Rescue & CNN Hero
    • Holly Henning – Executive Director of Women's Advocates 
    • Co-Sheltering 101 - Step-by-step guidance from leading pet-inclusive emergency shelters: URI & Father Joe's Villages

    Checked out a similar pet and housing conference last year, and the networking was way better than expected. Some of the livestreams and hybrid sessions I saw from JNSQ made it easy to catch talks I couldn’t attend in person, and the setup felt really smooth.

    That conference sounds great. The One Health approach is so important, and it's nice to see pets included in that conversation. Thanks for sharing the link.
