Pets in People Places Booklet
This booklet is available from the MPSCA and provides a blueprint for the introduction of pets into multi-unit housing for seniors and others. Written as a guide for designing a workable pet policy in both public and private multi-unit housing, it is intended to offer helpful advice to anyone — residents, managers, housing boards, and elected officials — who make decisions on the critical issue of allowing pets in rental housing. This booklet does not contain information on pet-friendly landlords or realtors.
If you would like a copy, please write to Milana Mazurkevich, Pets in Housing, MSPCA, 350 South Huntington Ave., Boston, MA 02130 or mmazurkevich@mspca.org.
