Domestic Abuse and Pets: The Purple Leash Project

Many survivors of domestic abuse face the difficult decision of leaving their pets behind when seeking safety. Statistics reveal that one in three women and one in four men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, and nearly half of these survivors delay leaving due to the lack of pet-friendly shelters. To tackle this issue, a project was initiated to create more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the United States. This initiative not only helps provide a safe haven for survivors but also acknowledges the emotional healing power that pets can offer during the recovery process.
