Can homeless people have pets?

Unfortunately, most homeless shelters do not allow homeless people to bring pets into the facilities. Homeless people with pets find ways to provide food, water, and, of course, companionship. Without their human companions, pets could end up living on the streets alone, as stray animals, or euthanized in shelters.

Most shelters do not allow pets unless they are a service animal. Homeless pet owners will not abandon their pet and do not have the funds to board the pet. We offer crates to shelters that will allow a pet to stay with the owner.
