Pet-Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters

Nearly one in three women and one in four men face domestic abuse in their lifetime, with many survivors hesitating to leave due to the inability to bring their pets. The Purple Leash Project initiated by Purina aims to address this issue by increasing the number of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the country. This initiative not only provides a safe haven for survivors but also ensures that they do not have to separate from their beloved pets during a critical time. By creating more accommodation for pets, the project seeks to mitigate one of the barriers that prevent victims from escaping abusive situations.
