Thank You for Cosponsoring the PUPP Act (H.R. 8074)

Dear Representative,

As your constituent and a supporter of the ASPCA, I want to thank you for cosponsoring the Providing for Unhoused People with Pets (PUPP) Act to ensure that unhoused people with pets can access emergency shelter. As you know, the PUPP Act would create a grant program that would provide funds for homeless shelters to support clients with pets, including by accommodating pets and providing basic veterinary services. This will remove a significant barrier to emergency housing for people with pets experiencing homelessness. I thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

Please Support the PUPP Act (H.R. 8074)

Dear Representative,

As your constituent and a supporter of the ASPCA, I ask you to please cosponsor the Providing for Unhoused People with Pets (PUPP) Act (H.R. 8074), bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). The PUPP Act would create a grant program managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that would provide funds for homeless shelters to support clients with pets, including by accommodating pets and providing basic veterinary services. Unfortunately, most homeless shelters do not allow pets, and unhoused people will often refuse assistance if it comes with a condition of giving up a beloved pet. The PUPP Act will help ensure that people with pets can access emergency shelter. Thank you for your attention and consideration.
