Event Description

When a person loses their home, they experience trauma and grief. Their pet may be their sole source of love and support. 

For a person experiencing homelessness, losing their pet can make one of the most difficult times in their life even more painful. Yet, with few emergency facilities offering pet-inclusive housing, it’s a decision so many people feel forced to make. We know pet-inclusive solutions to homelessness are not only possible, they already exist. 

Since 2021, we have hosted the annual My Dog Is My Home Conference with the hope that someday, nobody will have to choose between a home and their best friend. By showcasing emerging practices in keeping people and pets together, we are building the housing solutions and communities we want.

The 3-day virtual My Dog Is My Home Conference (Mar 24-26, 2026) brings together:

  • Leaders in the field of pet-inclusive housing

  • Individuals with lived experience of homelessness

  • Hundreds of representatives from human services and animal welfare nonprofits

The My Dog Is My Home Conference aims to increase access to pet-inclusive emergency and long-term housing through workshops, webinars, stories of lived experience, art, community networking, and more.

All of this happens online, so there are no associated expenses beyond registration.
