🏠 We’re making progress, Canada! Humane Canada’s national petition for pet-inclusive housing is now the #2 most signed petition on the House of Commons list! We need your support to keep the momentum going. Sign the petition: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P… #PetInclusiveHousing

Ontario renters, we want to hear from you! Have you been affected by 'no pets' clauses? Use your voice to help create safer, more inclusive homes for people and their pets. Share your experience in our quick survey: qualtricsxmnxnww5vzq.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_73… 🐾🏠

How can veterinarians help pets and pet owners find homes together? A steering group at #AVMA2024 developed these recommendations for the future of pet-inclusive housing. bit.ly/3Y4US2r

Housing barriers shape who can live with pets, where & how. We bring a One Health/ One Welfare approach, thinking internationally about how to house people and companion animals in support of human, pet, and societal health. @ProfWendyStone @TarynMGraham taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/…

We’ll be talking about this tweet and subsequent replies today at 4:30pm on the @JasJohalBC @cknw show. Removing pet restrictions, as one of the ways to comprehensively address the housing crisis, should be part of the plan. Over 60% of CAD households have at least 1 dog or cat.

Some great coverage about our latest study @TarynMGraham psypost.org/2022/09/new-st…

@CarriWestgarth A few relinquishment papers that come to mind (may or may not address your specific Q): Coe et al., 2014; Diesel et al., 2010; Patronek et al., 1996; New et al., 1999; @LexisHLy et al., 2021; @BaileyHopeEagan et al., 2022

Twitter-mind: What are the best studies on how many dogs/puppies get relinquished for rehoming or euthanised and at what point?

@svershbow There’s research on that! I and @Troy_D_Glover studied human relationship-building in dog parks. Spoiler alert: often depends on the dog you have! tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

I genuinely believe that the #1 way to make friends as an adult is to get a dog and regularly take them to a dog park.

@CompAnimalPsych @ProfPeel @CarriWestgarth @herzoghal Not barking up the wrong tree! See also my 2014 qual paper with @Troy_D_Glover that examined both positive and negative aspects of human relationship building aspects in dog parks tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

@ProfPeel @CarriWestgarth @herzoghal It seems like a neat follow-up to this survey journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… And I like that the negative side is included too.

My canine collaborator and I were wondering whether we’re barking up the wrong tree, or have sniffed something out? 🐶🐾 #dogsoftwitter @CompAnimalPsych @CarriWestgarth @herzoghal

Talk about international collaboration! New paper out providing an update on terms used for #animals working in #support roles mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/1…

Here is the full paper: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Fab summary of recent paper by @KaterinaMerkou2, Maggie O'Haire @OHAIRElab, Rebecca Purewal, @CarriWestgarth and yours truly on #dog ownership and #MentalHealth news.liverpool.ac.uk/2022/07/28/dog…

Nice study -- replicates the mismatch often found between the results of quantitative studies of the impact of pets on mental health (null or negative) and the positive impact typically reported in qualitative studies.

📢 Hot off the press! A new study by @TarynMGraham @CarriWestgarth et al. in @FrontiersIn found that a closer human-dog relationship is associated with higher feelings of emotional support & companionship, but worse anxiety & depression 🐶 tinyurl.com/ycknep2a #WednesdayWisdom

Here and now, @CarolMithers & @CelesteHeadlee discuss the unfairness of extra #pet charges in #rental housing, citing our ‘Pet-Friendly for Whom?’ research paper frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
