Help Renters Find Pet-Friendly Housing
Recognizing that people frequently give up their pets because they can't find rental housing that will accept their pets, the Richmond, Virginia SPCA publishes a pet-friendly housing guide on their website.
"The Pet-Friendly Housing Guide reinforces the idea that a pet is a lifelong commitment."
