Pet friendly homeless shelter

[Catherine]

I was reading about this pet friendly homeless shelter and I was already starting a post about it when I realized the shelter is in Toronto. This is a pet friendly city.

The shelter is an amazing idea. Homeless people would rather sleep outside than be separated from their pets. Finally we are understanding this and helping them. For some people the pet is all they have, the only one who really cares. The pet motivates people to do better with their lives. Caring for the pet gives a homeless person a sense of purpose.

There are other pet friendly shelters being build. This is a sign that we are starting to see homeless people as people and not just the homeless.

I am proud of my city.



I debated making this a separate post, but it really goes with what I have already posted.

There are wonderful people in many places working to help the homeless and their pets.
