2021 Pets in the Workplace Project: Our infographic on developing a pets in the workplace policy is a summary of a year-long undertaking with a local workplace on updating their policy.

1. the Saskatoon Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) cares for approximately 4,000 animals each year? 
2. a significant portion of the animals surrendered are pets that cannot move with their humans because of the lack of pet-friendly rentals?  
3. making rental properties pet-friendly is good for business? 

Pet-friendly rental housing is limited in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We know that increasing the amount of pet-friendly rentals is a win for both renter and landlord. Understanding your rights and obligations when renting with pets is an important part of being a responsible pet caretaker. Making your properties pet-friendly is good for business.   

Based off the great work of others across Canada, and local partnerships, our renter and landlord guide can help answer your questions and make Saskatoon more pet-inclusive!
