Helping more animal victims of domestic violence

Helping more animal victims of domestic violence

Animal welfare organization RedRover has announced the launch of a new program that will help animal victims of domestic violence.

In situations of domestic violence, dogs and cats are also victims. RedRover is launching an extension to its Relief Safe Housing program, which will allow animal shelters and rescue organizations to create onsite housing for animal victims of domestic violence. Grants of up to $20,000 each are being offered to organizations throughout the US, and may be used to build additional space to house animals in a private area.

According to research conducted by Dr. Frank Ascione, as many as 71% of female animal parents entering domestic violence shelters report that their abusers injured, killed or threatened family animals. Additionally, up to 48% reported that they delayed leaving their abusers because they feared what would happen to their animals.

  • AW ACADEMY is a natural extension of our 25 years of experience publishing Animal Wellness, Equine Wellness and Innovative Veterinary Care Journal. We believe that everyone has a responsibility to care for animals to the best of their ability utilizing the most natural and minimally invasive means possible. We feel strongly that it’s better to promote a preventative healthy lifestyle for our pets instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. We also fiercely advocate for the quality of animals’ lives, supporting animal rescues and welfare organizations both financially and through our editorial.
