Many domestic violence victims stay in an abusive relationship, delay leaving, or return to the perpetrator out of fear for their pet’s safety. This webinar will provide information on various resources available to help domestic violence victims seeking emergency shelter protect their pets. Such resources include searching the Domestic Violence Animal Shelter Database, including pets in Orders of Protection, and promoting alliances between domestic violence shelters and animal shelters.
