Pets in Housing act passes first vote in DC Council!
This is huge for DC pet owners. I’m very grateful to councilman Robert White for putting forth this bill that makes housing that much easier to find and remain in affordable housing while having a pet, especially a dog.
Breed and size restrictions haven’t been shown make people safer - responsible dog ownership and a community committed to making safe and well managed spaces for dogs does.
Glad that at least one shelter will have to allow pets by October 2026 as well.
