Domestic abuse often includes children and pets. When victims of domestic abuse wish to escape their abusers, they are usually faced with the difficult task of finding shelter for not only themselves and their children, but also their pets. Not all domestic violence shelters accept pets.

When a shelter doesn't accept pets, the victim is faced with the difficult decision of staying in the abusive home or leaving their pet behind. Pets that are left behind are often tortured or killed. We believe no pet should be left behind with an abuser.

We are raising money to provide temporary financial support for the pets of domestic violence victims. The grants will be used to cover boarding, food, and necessary vaccinations for up to 30 days while the victim establishes a new home.
