East County News Service
 
July 16, 2025 (San Diego County) -- Local animal advocates are celebrating the change in a government meeting agenda for this Friday, July 18, that may have proposed a new policy that would limit families in public housing to a maximum of two pets.
 
On the group's social media account on Facebook, Animal Protection and Rescue League leaders shared that the San Diego Housing Commission was seeking this Friday to discuss possibly making a change in its pet ownership policy, which currently "is apparently 2 animals, only 1 of which can be a dog," the Facebook post said.
 
"So this new proposal would have allowed a second dog, but only if a family gets rid of their cat (or even a fish). They were pitching this as a 'reform!' "
