SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A San Diego homeless shelter is highlighting a program that allows people experiencing homelessness to stay with their pets, removing a barrier that often prevents people from seeking help.

Father Joe’s Villages is partnering with My Dog Is My Home to show how shelters can accommodate animals so people don’t have to choose between housing and their companions.

For Ben Noss, that option meant everything.

Noss and his dog, Baby Girl, are rarely apart. Even when she’s off leash, he says she never strays far.
