Open House NYC
November 15, 2024 | 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM
My Dog Is My Home’s Open House NYC, co-hosted by Urban Resource Institute, will be held on Friday, November 15 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM. This open house is made possible by the generous support of Maddie’s Fund, #ThanksToMaddie.
Join the Open House NYC to tour a pet-inclusive family shelter, hear about the URI's pet policies and procedures, and listen to a former URI shelter resident, all with the goal of building a regional network of providers that can support each other through the various phases of co-sheltering.
