From humble beginnings as a multimedia exhibition in the Animal Museum, My Dog is My Home has developed into a national nonprofit that pursues our mission through a capacity-building approach. Through this method, we promote the creation of systematic, macro-level responses to homelessness and animal companionship. Our activities normally fall within one of the following categories: research, technical assistance and consultation, and training and education.
Through our efforts, we hope to expand the current accessibility of existing homeless resources, such as homeless shelters, to accommodate humans and their pets in the same space, which we referer to as "co-sheltering".
