The Chilliwack Animal
Safe Haven Society is dedicated to finding homes for abandoned animals
and to keeping pets in loving homes. With these goals in mind, the
Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven Open Door Guide encourages landlords and
property managers to open their doors to pet owners. That way, more people
can adopt shelter animals and fewer people will have to relinquish their
dogs and cats for lack of pet-friendly housing. Open Door promotes
the benefits of opening doors to responsible tenants with materials to help
them implement successful "Pets Okay" policies, and it provides tenants with
information on securing pet-friendly housing.
