Impact of Domestic Abuse on Pet Ownership

A significant number of individuals experience domestic abuse in their lifetimes, with one in three women and one in four men affected. A major barrier that leads many survivors to delay leaving abusive situations is the inability to bring their pets with them. To address this issue, Purina has initiated the Purple Leash Project, which aims to increase the availability of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the country. This initiative seeks to ensure that both abuse survivors and their pets can escape together, facilitating healing for both parties.
