About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges faced by the unhoused community in caring for their pets and features advocacy efforts by the nonprofit My Dog Is My Home.
Everyone deserves animal companionship, but the unhoused community is too often forced to make difficult decisions to care for their pets while living in shelters or on the street. This week, Theo speaks with Jillian and Christine with nonprofit My Dog Is My Home about their important work advocating for the unhoused and their pets, from accessible veterinary care to advocacy work to allow pets in shelter systems. Also: Theo remembers community members Shirley Raines of Beauty 2 the Streetz. Learn more about My Dog Is My Home: https://www.mydogismyhome.org/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
