We understand the value of the human-animal bond and we advocate for more people and pets being able to benefit from it. Tackling pet homelessness helps both animals and people โ bringing the advantages of human-animal interactions to more pet owners, and ensuring every pet gets the sustained care and nutrition they need to thrive. The State of Pet Homelessness Project covered 20 countries across multiple continents, highlighting the importance of having access to and understanding data to tackle the root causes of pet homelessness.

By adopting instead of shopping for a pet, you're not just giving a deserving furry friend a second chance - you're literally saving a life. The reality is that in 2023, according to Shelter Animals Count (https://bit.ly/3wdLrCe), approximately 6.5 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ โ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ , and only around half get adopted. The others? Well, we don't like to think about it. ๐ But YOU can change those heartbreaking odds! Adopting from your local shelter, humane society, or rescue group is one of the most impactful things you can do to combat pet overpopulation and homelessness.

Today is Celebrate Shelter Pet Day, a day that reminds us of the importance of pet adoption and the love and companionship shelter animals bring to our lives. For many people, their pets are not just animals; they are a source of emotional support and security. This bond is particularly pronounced among those experiencing homelessness, who often find themselves in traumatic and unstable situations. In such cases, they perceive giving up their beloved pet as a worse outcome than remaining in an unsafe or unstable environment. In fact, numerous studies and reports have shown that most homeless individuals would prefer to sleep on the streets with their pets than seek refuge in shelters that do not accept animals. This choice highlights the profound connection between homeless individuals and their pets, with the companionship and unconditional love provided by their furry friends serving as a crucial source of comfort and support. To learn more about shelter pets and the important link between pets and homelessness, head to the link in our bio and read about it on our blog! #ShelterPetDay #communityservice #shelterhomes #newjersey

Weโve been asked if we think people who are homeless should be allowed to have pets Some people experiencing poverty and some with abundant financial means, we assure you, people who are unsheltered take as good care of their animal family members as anyone else. But we always observe that those who are homeless , we typically see an even stronger bond, as their animals are often their sole companion, motivation, hope, and protection. We see devotion, and the animalโs health and nutrition being put first. There are exceptions where animals are neglected or mistreated, and these cases occur at every socioeconomic status . Does every animal deserve to be spoiled? Yes. But remember, animals donโt care how expensive their beds or toys are, they care about how much love they get from you, and they care about being fed and safe. Regardless of how you feel about homelessness, donโt let your love of animals feed prejudice. The human animal bond cannot and should not only be for the wealthy. In this day and age, many of us are one crisis away from being homeless. Being sheltered and having family and friends to fall back on is a privilege. So instead of categorizing by quality of shelter, letโs support animals and their loving people in every setting. Everyone deserves access to care. Animals are family. #bekindtoeverykind #petsarefamilytoo

Itโs important that we take notice - none of these top three reasons are that there are too many animals or that people donโt care about their pets. Many of the reasons that pets end up homeless are because people struggle - whether it be in finding affordable housing, or being able to provide vet care, or even that found pets are not being reunited with their families. These are all challenges that can only be combatted by working on the people aspect. If we can improve the people welfare side of things, weโll improve the animal side too.
We are proud to collaborate with Mars on the largest-ever international study into dog and cat homelessness. This fantastic initiative will help better understand the scale and factors influencing the issue, which can in turn support work to address and solve the root causes. Thank you, Mars, for your partnership and generously supporting our work to help dogs, cats and people in South Africa, India and Mexico, where pet homelessness remains a serious issue.
