During the pandemic, about one in five households or an estimated 23 million households adopted #pets. However, #pet #adoption has waned since the pandemic for many reasons, including return-to-work, higher cost of goods and housing, and difficulty finding pet-friendly housing. Waning pet adoption has led to overcrowding in animal shelters posing higher health risks and death to animals. In Miami-Dade County, overcrowding has become so severe the Miami Dade County Animal Services has had to close its animal shelters several times in 2023 and recently in July. It made a plea for communities and groups to adopt pets and to help address overcrowding. The County is a no-kill shelter, a policy that is against euthanizing pets even if the shelter is full. To help in this effort, the Miami Association of Realtors conducted a study on pet ownership and the benefits to property owners/managers of a pet-friendly policy. Allowing pets comes with benefits and costs. The potential benefits are a bigger pool of #renters, higher rental income as pet owners are often willing to pay a higher rent, and reduced tenant turnover and vacancy rates. Our study showed that: -pet-friendly rentals typically get rented out faster (36 days) than rentals that do not allow pets (41 days) -pet-friendly rentals typically rent out for more ($2,800) than those that did not allow pets ($2,500) - pet-friendly rentals are typically larger and of newer stock that rentals that do not allow pets If you are a property manager or landlord in the Miami-Dade area, do take a look at this study as you assess the costs and benefits of allowing pets in your property. Allowing pets may not only increase your financial bottom line but also save the life of our furry friends. Special thanks to #MIAMI Leader Eddie Blanco for advocating for this study! https://lnkd.in/esdxqT3r Miami Association of Realtors #miamiforwardfocus #miamiforwardthinking

I’ve been digging deeper into the synergies between my 15 year career in animal health and my side project as a property partner… I’ve unearthed a few thoughts and insights to share 🐕🏡🐈 Anyone who either works with animals or has pets knows the benefits of pet ownership, from decreasing daily stress and improving heart health, to helping children with their emotional and social skills. But for social housing tenants, pet ownership policies can be a major source of stress and worry. What I’ve found is that property owners might be missing out on great tenants due to 'no pets' policies. BUT tenants with pets often seek long-term homes and tend to take better care of the property, leading to more stable tenancies and reduced turnover costs for landlords. I read a report which shows that concerns about property damage from pets are often overstated. Landlords who allow pets report fewer issues with property damage and flea infestations than expected. Cats Protection has a fab guide for landlords – let me know if you’d like a copy! Tenancy agreements with specific clauses about pet ownership can provide peace of mind for both landlords and tenants. Ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities. Adopting pet-friendly policies and promoting responsible pet ownership can create a win-win situation for social housing tenancy’s, leading to happier environments, and better outcomes for everyone involved 💚 Image Craiyon🖍 #propertyinvestor #veterinarynurse #vetnurse #socialhousing #womeninproperty

Adopting a pet not only saves a life but also offers a loving home to animals in need.

Pet adoption is a rewarding experience that brings joy and companionship to both the pet and the owner. It helps create a bond built on love, trust, and compassion. Let's shift our focus from buying pets to adopting them, promoting a culture of kindness and care towards all living beings.

Adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue organization instead of buying one from a pet store or breeder is a wonderful way to give a loving home to an animal in need. By choosing to adopt, you not only save a life but also support the efforts of organizations like the Humane Society. As a volunteer at the Humane Society, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible bond that can be formed between a pet and their new owner. The love and gratitude that these animals show when they find their forever homes is truly heartwarming. The Feisty Feline is a project that I started with my adopted pet, who I found at the Humane Society. Together, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of adopting shelter animals and promote responsible pet ownership. Through our social media platforms and community events, we share stories of rescue pets, provide information on adoption processes, and offer tips on caring for pets. This holiday season, I encourage everyone to consider adopting a pet rather than buying one. There are countless animals waiting for their second chance at happiness, and by adopting, you can make a significant difference in their lives. Whether you're looking for a playful dog, a cuddly cat, or any other type of pet, shelters and rescue organizations have a wide variety of animals to choose from. Remember, when you adopt, you not only save a life but also open up space in the shelter for another animal in need. So, let's make this holiday season a time of compassion and love by choosing to adopt and give a forever home to a deserving pet. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these animals and create a more compassionate world for all.

Fantastic news for pets in lets 🏘️🐶🐱 It was great to see the #RentersReformBill pass through the House of Commons just now, on to its next stage in the Lords. This important legislation will help millions of renters and pets! 🎊 Pet owners should never have to choose between having a roof over their head and giving up their furry family member, so we were delighted to see a clause added that will ensure landlords can’t unreasonably say no when a tenant requests to keep a pet. Not only could the Renters (Reform) Bill increase the number of homes available to responsible pet owners and help ease the strain on overflowing animal rescue centres, but it could also provide health benefits. According to Battersea's Pet Friendly Properties Report, pet owners make 15% fewer visits to the doctor for both physical and mental health reasons! Hopefully, we will see these exciting changes taking place soon, giving pet owners the chance to turn a house in to a home with furry cuddles and slobbery kisses! ❤️🐾 In the meantime, if you are currently looking to ask your landlord about getting a pet or allowing a pet on your property, our renting checklist has some helpful tips to convince them! https://lnkd.in/gy-Dzhux #RentersReformBill #PetsInLets #RentersRights #RentingWithPets

Doing the animal and community welfare thing, y'all! Doing it for you, and you, and you, and all the animals too!
free post adoption support services??!! whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhat?! "Does Petszel check in on how the adopted pets are adjusting to their new home? Post-adoption, Petszel sends surveys on behalf of the shelter to the new pet parents to understand how the transition to the new home is going. Surveys are sent to the pet parents on days 1, 7, 30, 60, and 90, where they can share what is working well, what challenges they have, and if they have scheduled this first vet visit. Currently, if any pet owner says they want shelter follow-up or have specific challenges, you will receive an email with the survey sent to your shelter account so your team can reach out to that adopter. Cats: Destructive scratching, Urinating and/or defecating outside the litter box, Aggression towards animals, or Aggression towards people Dogs: Food/resource guarding, Destructive chewing/scratching, Urinating and/or defecating in the house, Aggression towards animals, Aggression towards people"

Rate Of Pets Abandoning in United Kingdom Increasing every day! Pets are one of the main part of life and family for us. But Unfortunately this statement has started to loose its worth after an extensive number of increase has been seen in leaving pets on roads, parks and even places a person cant imagine such as garbage bins. United Kingdom is the most number recording country where even the shelters and pet care centers are running out of space to keep dogs. Main reasons for pets abandoning was discovered to be Increase in the living cost, pets behavior, change of house where pets are not allowed and pets frequently getting ill. But whatever the reason maybe we as humans should care about their emotions as well before adopting them. We should check mark all the things and situations that whether we are capable of adopting a pet adding a new member in the family. This problem is on a rise day by day which can lead to very negative and unhealthy environment in the society. Visit us at: www.pawsperfecto.com #pets #petsupplies #petcare #pawsperfectofamily
