“We started the program because we know the importance of keeping the entire family safe. We didn't want people staying in violent situations because of their animal when we could help.”
“It's important so if other organizations that are assisting people in domestic violence situations hear the argument, ?I don't want to leave my pet there,' they have an option. It makes the transition to leaving their abusive partner smoother ? and there's one less argument for staying. Everyone living in the household has an opportunity to escape unscathed.”
