I am also hopeful that all species of animals (including humans) will benefit from a more ecologically aware government in the USA. It always made me suspicious of Trump that he had no WH domestic animals, breaking a very long-standing tradition in the USA. There is an interesting article about WH pets here (and why Trump doesn't have one):
