Presenters will share ideas about:

• Understanding human homelessness response systems for better animal welfare advocacy and program design

• Engaging rental housing providers with pet-inclusive approaches and pet owners with information they need to access pet-inclusive rental housing

Presenting on these topics will be:

  • Christine Kim, Founder, My Dog is My Home
  • Shannon Glenn, Executive Director, My Pit Bull is Home
  • Dianne Prado, Founder and President, HEART LA
  • Diana Cruz, Program Director and Law Clerk, HEART LA

Camp Maddie: Pet-Inclusive Housing Edition is perfect for those interested or involved in animal shelters or foster-based organizations, social workers and anyone passionate about keeping pets and people together.

At the end of the free half-day event, presenters will share a collection of resources to help you apply what you learn in your own organization and community. By embracing pet-inclusive policies, we can help families stay together and create neighborhoods where pets are valued as part of the family. Come make new friends and help make housing accessible to all members of the family!
