Pets in Crisis "for victims of domestic violence"
$ 20.00
Pets are often used by abusers to manipulate, intimidate and control their victims, by harming, or threatening to harm, their victim’s beloved pets.Research indicates that a large percentage of domestic violence sufferers delay leaving an abusive relationship when there are pets in the home because they fear for their pet’s safety. As there is nowhere for them to take their pets, they remain in the violent relationship rather than leave their pet behind.
The Pets in Crisis program offers a temporary home for pets from households experiencing family and domestic violence while their owner seeks refuge or temporary accommodation of their own. This helps to alleviate some of the logistical stress of removing themselves and their loved ones from a dangerous home environment.It gives them peace of mind knowing that their pet will be safe and well cared for while they focus on their own safety. Once they find somewhere permanent to live they are reunited with their pet.The service is available via referral only, is free, and is open to all domestic pets including cats, dogs and pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, mice etc.) for up to three months.
