We know that housing issues are a top reason why pets are separated from their families and are not able to find new homes. We took a look at the pet-friendly vs. pet-inclusive rental housing landscape in Michigan, and we found that no market is above 13% when it comes to more pet-inclusive policies. We hope that animal welfare organizations and others are able to use this data to help guide conversations around increasing access to pet-inclusive housing. https://lnkd.in/edQAmJfD #research #petinclusive #housing #animalshelters

📈 Rising Costs for NYC Animal Care Centers: A Growing Concern 🐾 Recent reports highlight a significant budgetary challenge for Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC).

This increase, driven by rising operational costs and higher demand for services, underscores the need for sustainable funding solutions to ensure the well-being of both the animals and the dedicated staff working tirelessly on their behalf. With the ACC's budget ballooning to over $80 million annually, there is a growing urgency for city officials and stakeholders to address the financial strain and explore innovative approaches to managing and funding animal welfare programs.
