Domestic Abuse and Pets
Domestic abuse affects a significant portion of the population, with statistics showing that one in three women and one in four men will experience it in their lifetime. A critical barrier that survivors face is the unavailability of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters, leading many to delay leaving abusive situations for the sake of their pets. The Purple Leash Project was initiated by Purina to address this issue by creating more shelters that allow survivors to bring their pets, thus enabling them to escape and heal together. This project emphasizes the bond between victims and their pets, highlighting the importance of including animals in the healing process.
