Urban living can be stressful for people and their pets.  All too frequently, landlord/tenant disputes or a family’s need to find alternative housing results in pets being surrendered to shelters.  Through education, proving dedication, and responsible ownership, Project Canine Urban Living Endorsement aims to reduce pet homelessness by promoting and supporting canine living in metropolitan areas.

The 13 week course series teaches owners how to meet their dogs’ needs to live safely and respectfully with others in high density environments such as apartment dwelling and condo/townhouse lifestyles.  When the owner-canine team passes both written and handling exams, they are endorsed to live in a growing number of rental communities or receive an exemption to size restrictions with participating condominium home-owner associations.  Endorsed teams will receive benefits such as a discount on their rental and homeowner’s insurances and the ability to patronize (with their owners) a growing number of retail establishments.
