How We Can Help You

If you are facing foreclosure or need to move for any reason, do not leave your pet behind or let them go into the streets. Before contacting us, you can try to find another home with a landlord that allows pets; however, if you are unsuccessful, Lost Our Home Pet Foundation is here to help.

Here at Lost Our Home we provide five main services: the Furry Friend Financial Aid Program the Furry Friend Food Bank, the Furry Friends Foster Program, Adoptions, and Rescue Assistance.

“Moving” and “landlord won’t allow” are among the top reasons given by pet owners when relinquishing their dogs or cats to animal shelters. If more rental housing permitted pets, millions of dogs and cats could be placed in homes—or stay in their homes when their caregivers move.

Those reasons are why The HSUS helps rental managers, property owners and pet caregivers solve the challenges of keeping pets in rental properties. It’s all part of our Pets for Life™ campaign, designed to keep pets with their families, where they belong. In addition to helping people keep their pets when they move, we also help solve other problems that threaten human-pet relationships, such as behavior issues and allergies.

Landlord or Housing Manager

If you’re a landlord or housing manager, you can play an important role in preserving the bond between responsible pet owners and their companion animals by instituting a pets-allowed policy. Read our advice on how to address some of the concerns you may have about welcoming pets into your community, and take advantage of the opportunity to increase your market share. You will reap the financial rewards.

Pets deserve a lifetime of responsible caretaking, and property owners deserve rental properties free of problems caused by irresponsible pet-owning residents. Our guidelines for renting with pets can help make both goals a reality.

You’ve probably heard heartbreaking stories, or have experienced them yourself: You need to move and can’t find suitable rental housing that will accept your pets. Far too many pet caregivers have felt forced to give up their pets because they thought animal-friendly housing wasn’t available.

But if you are a responsible pet owner looking to rent and are overwhelmed by the challenges of finding animal-friendly housing, don’t despair. With planning and a few compromises, you can find animal-friendly housing in virtually any area of the country. After all, isn’t your pet worth it?

Check Your Insurance: Many insurance companies deny or cancel homeowners and rental insurance for certain dog breeds or breed mixes. Be sure to check with your existing insurer before bringing a new dog into your home.
