When survivors of domestic violence make the courageous decision to leave, they often face a heartbreaking choice no one should have to make: safety for themselves… or safety for their beloved pet.

Most emergency shelters don’t have the resources to accommodate animals — and abusers often exploit this fact, threatening or harming pets to maintain control.
As a result, many survivors delay leaving or return to dangerous environments simply because they can’t bear to abandon their pet.

That’s where your support becomes life-changing.

With your help, we:

• Partner with local foster families and pet boarding facilities to provide temporary care for the pets of survivors.

• Coordinate safe transport of animals to trusted homes while survivors seek shelter and support.

• Offer peace of mind during one of the most traumatic moments of someone’s life — knowing their pet is safe, loved, and waiting.
