The Impact of Domestic Abuse on Pets
Nearly half of domestic abuse survivors delay leaving their situation because they cannot bring their pets with them. This creates a significant barrier for those seeking help and escaping violence. Recognizing this issue, the Purple Leash Project was initiated to increase the number of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters. By addressing this need, the project aims to facilitate a safer and more supportive environment for survivors and their pets as they navigate the path to healing.
