by The City of Calgary
The City of Calgary is partnering with the Calgary Humane Society on a new campaign to increase access to pet-friendly housing and help keep pets with the families who love them.
Across Calgary, many renters face challenges finding housing that allows pets, sometimes leading to difficult decisions, including surrendering animals. This campaign raises awareness of the benefits of pet-friendly housing and provides practical tools to support both landlords and renters. Through a shared resource hub, landlords can access templates and guidance to reduce risk, while renters can find tools to strengthen their applications. The campaign also highlights research showing pet owners are often reliable, long-term tenants.
By supporting more pet-inclusive housing, the City and Calgary Humane Society are working to reduce avoidable pet surrenders and build more inclusive, compassionate communities for all Calgarians. Learn more at calgaryhumane.ca/meettheneed.
