hey shannon. thanks so much for writing. i've been in the position of seeking shelter from a shelter for women and being told no time and again because of my dog....and in those times oddly i did have access to a vehicle...and more often than not i'd sleep in my car. And when that became ridiculous after a while i used a credit card...people of all walks of life are homeless...there are no set stereotypes as you well know nor for their pets..what would it take to create pet friendly shelters like we now have pet friendly hotel chains? even if for folks in transition and if needed mandated short term stays? I'm in Boston like you...email me at evolveserenity@gmail.com if you wanna chat further. Meanwhile, thanks much for this post and your work to raise awareness.
