Call for NYC Film Volunteers

CBS New York interviewed Shaunyece in November 2015. In the interview, she talked about how the no-pets-allowed rule kept her out of the shelter system. Unfortunately, Shaunyece and her three cats still live outside today.

Thanks to a field connection from Human.NYC, we were introduced to Shaunyece and her three cats. We are aiming to capture her experience of being a cat guardian on the streets - both the joys and challenges - and promote her story as an example of why animal accommodations in homeless services is critical. We are looking for reliable volunteers who can assist with filming. The time commitment is two full days of filming over the course of two months. If you'd like to contribute your time and talents, please contact Christine at christine@mydogismyhome.org.
