Today is #WorldAnimalDay - and the theme is "The world is their home too.” What about people with pets who don't have a home? 🏡🐕🐈⬛ Although unhoused people with pets might face additional challenges due to the lack of pet-inclusive housing or shelters, the love and companionship of their animals is a stable source of support, security, and friendship- that gives them a reason to live. Do you work at or volunteer at a shelter that accepts pets? DM us so we can add you to our directory! #WelfareForAnimals #KeepingPeopleAndPetsTogether #unhousedneighbors

Today is #PetHungerAwarenessDay 🐈🐕 Would you forgo your own meals 🍽️ so that your pets could eat? I have, sadly, many times. Let me know in the comments below if you have 👇too. According to PetSmart Charities 77% of Canadians wouldn’t have meals to guarantee that their pets had enough food to eat. With rising cost of living and the housing crisis, many people are struggling to pay for basic items such as groceries, bills, pet food, and veterinary care. When people struggle, their pets do too. If you have or volunteer at a pet food bank, let us know and we will add you to our nationwide Pet Food Bank directory. Because every bit helps people and pets in need. #WelfareForAnimals #PeopleAndPets #PetFoodBanks
