Fund more pet friendly emergency accommodation

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that the Government should fund more pet friendly emergency accommodation for those who are homeless and have pets.
From my own experiences, I know how difficult it can be to keep a pet whilst you're homeless. Homeless people might not have as many friends or family members as other people, so when they have a pet they are very important to them. I also think that opening more accommodation would help with overcrowding at shelters and reduce strain on them.
