Welcome to Pet-Friendly Planning!

Welcome to Pet-Friendly Planning – formerly Stay with Pets! Why the change? Our mission has evolved over the past 10 years, and we wanted our name to better reflect what we do.

Originally, our purpose was to help people find places where they could stay with their pets: hotels, apartments, shelters, etc. This continuous search for pet-friendly places has been eye-opening and sometimes disappointing. While many boutique inns and hotel/motel chains welcome dogs and cats, it remains difficult for people with pets (especially “bully-breed” dogs) to find housing. Seniors-only communities and emergency shelters present even bigger obstacles for people with companion animals. Sadly, these obstacles often cause people to abandon their pets, or to have their pets forcibly taken away from them. 

Our focus now is on helping to prevent these situations. In a world where hundreds of thousands of animals await rescue or adoption, we cannot afford to lose devoted caregivers. We are constantly on the lookout for news and ideas that can help people to live happily with their pets. If you would like to be part of our effort to make the world a more pet-friendly place, please follow our blog and social media pages. Thank you for visiting!
