Basically, what we would like to see is anything that keeps the women and children—the families who love the animal—together, so that it reduces that trauma of separating the animal from them, which we understand is not necessarily possible at all times. The issue is that the shelters also don't have enough space for the women and children who need their services, let alone bringing animals with them.
Keeping animals, victims and survivors together is the most important thing for us. There's not an easy solution, because it requires so many different things. We need more affordable housing. We need more shelters that accept animals regardless of allergies, so there has to be space for people with allergies to animals. It's not an easy solution and it's not going to be cheap, but it is something that needs to be recognized.
You also mentioned other tragedies like emergency situations. People don't necessarily think about the pets and the pets being left behind, but in hurricane Helene just last weekend, a lot of people would not leave.
I hope that answers your question and that I didn't go off on a tangent.
