We received a call in the office today from a woman who was in need of
rental assistance to prevent an eviction. This is not unusual since we
get about four of eviction calls per day. This is by far the single
greatest need in the community, but what made this especially difficult
is that she had a pet. She was looking for a shelter that accepted
pets. There are none. All shelters will, of course, accept service
animals, but none will accept a pet. There are allergies, health
regulations, and liability issues that make it impossible for the
shelters to allow animals.
