71% of pet owners entering domestic violence shelters report that their pet had been threatened or harmed by their abuser and most survivors rely on their pet as a very important source of emotional support.  

The therapeutic benefits of the human-animal bond are undeniable, and we strive to keep those families and their pets together. We work with existing domestic violence shelters to provide pet-friendly solutions to get survivors into a safe space sooner. These accommodations can consist of: 

• Room conversions 
• Kennel facilities on-site 
• Facilitating partnerships with local animal shelters 
• For more information on how to start a pet program at your shelter, see our Don’t Forget the Pets training seminar and our supplemental training materials. 

Together we can change the lives of domestic violence survivors across the country by allowing them to bring their pets with them during this traumatic time. Your tax-deductible donation today helps make future Rescue Rebuild projects possible. Donate now.
