Providing information about pets whose owners enter homeless shelters.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to providing information about pets whose owners enter homeless shelters

This bill would require the Department to post information on its website regarding the process for having a pet designated as an emotional support animal, and to report, every three months, information on how many individuals and families applied for shelter and reported they had a pet, as well as the the placement or disposition of pets that belong to people who enter homeless shelters. Finally, the bill would require the Department to develop a questionnaire to obtain the information required to be reported.
