Thank you Tammy and I agree! Do you have a list of shelters where human victims can go with their pet family members that you can share with us?

I fought hard to include animals in domestic violence shelters as many abuse victims refused to leave their beloved pets behind with the abuser which put them in greater danger. I think its important that we do everything possible to help people hold on to their pets no matter what life throws at them!

"Housing security for people with pets, as a policy issue, remains disconnected from planning to improve resilience overall and to enhance preparedness for disasters. Our analysis highlights the value of engaged research in fore- grounding policy issues that influences the lives of people and pets. We conclude that, to be healthy, multi-species publics must entertain questions about whose lives come to matter most."

Many policies are outdated and do not reflect the bonded family society (human+non human family member) that exists in the United States. Are you aware of any policies that are currectly being reviewed or have been recently updated to catch up with our society today?
