The Status Quo
The Index Solution
No consistent measure of the scale of pet homelessness
Consistent formula calculates proportion of pets which are homeless
No identification of the key issues that need to be solved
Surveys and interviews highlight the leading issues impacting pet homelessness in each country
No ability to turn insights into actions
Survey responses reveal where actions or interventions could help reduce the chance of pets being or becoming homeless
