I am a resident of Calgary, AB, Canada and a proud pet owner. However, my dog and I have been facing significant challenges when it comes to finding rental accommodations. It's an issue that many pet owners in our city are all too familiar with.

In Calgary, it's common for landlords to disallow pets in their rental properties. This practice not only limits the housing options for people like me but also contributes to the increasing number of pets surrendered to shelters due to housing issues.

According to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS), approximately 30% of pets surrendered by their owners are due to housing-related issues such as these restrictions on rentals. This is not just about providing comfort for pet owners; it's about reducing unnecessary stress on our animal shelters and promoting responsible pet ownership.

We believe that everyone should have the right to live with their beloved pets without being discriminated against based on their choice of companionship. Therefore, we call upon local lawmakers and property management companies in Calgary, AB, Canada to prohibit rental properties from banning pets.
