The Purple Leash Project
A significant barrier for domestic abuse survivors is the lack of pet-friendly shelters, with only 3% previously accepting pets. This inadequacy often forces individuals to choose between leaving an abusive situation or staying for the sake of their pets, causing delays in seeking help. Recognizing the vital bond between pets and their owners, Purina initiated the Purple Leash Project, aiming to create more domestic violence shelters that welcome pets. The project has successfully increased the percentage of pet-friendly shelters to nearly 20%, facilitating escape and healing for both survivors and their pets.
