Pets as Lifelines: Breaking Barriers for Survivors

A significant barrier for domestic abuse survivors has been the exclusion of pets from shelters, previously only 3% accepted them. This often forces individuals to choose between their safety and their pets. A notable statistic shows that nearly half of survivors hesitate to leave abusive situations due to pet considerations. Recognizing the bond between people and pets as crucial for healing, Purina initiated the Purple Leash Project to increase pet-friendly domestic violence shelters from 3% to nearly 20%. This initiative not only provides more options for survivors but also allows them to escape abusive environments alongside their pets, fostering joint healing.
