The Importance of Pet-Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters
Many survivors of domestic abuse face overwhelming challenges when attempting to leave their situation, including the inability to bring their pets with them. Statistics reveal that one in three women and one in four men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. To address this significant barrier, Purina established the Purple Leash Project, which aims to create more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the United States. This initiative highlights the need for safe spaces that accommodate both survivors and their beloved pets, ensuring they can escape harmful environments together.
