My Dog Is My Home is a national nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness and their companion animals. MHQ has selected My Dog is My Home as our 2024 Community Partner. In addition to supporting the organization by donating a percentage of MHQ’s revenue in honor of our clients, we will share information about the organization each month, and provide in-kind consulting services.
On November 15, My Dog Is My Home held a successful Open House in New York City, co-hosted by Urban Resource Institute (URI).
Approximately two dozen representatives from human services organizations, animal welfare nonprofits, and tri–state area governments came together to learn more about
how to provide pet-inclusive housing for people experiencing homelessness. We also heard Elizabeth Rose’s powerful story of surviving homelessness due to domestic violence and the importance of staying with her companion cat, Bebe, through her journey. See Elizabeth share her story in these videos: with footage of her at home and told live.
In addition to locally based attendees, we welcomed My Dog Is My Home fellowship grantees from Women’s Advocates in St. Paul, MN. The event was covered by PIX11 News, on the WPIX (New York, NY) television network.
On Saturday, December 14th, the J. McLaughlin boutique in Millbrook, NY will benefit My Dog Is My Home with 15% of all sales throughout the day. If you live in the area, please join us in person to meet My Dog Is My Home founder Christine Kim and shop at the store, enjoying complimentary refreshments. If you can’t make it, you can peruse the offerings online and call the Millbrook location of the store on the day of the event, December 14, to order: 845-677-6197.
