Description
Offers safekeeping of pets for victims of domestic violence. As most shelters for domestic violence victims do not allow pets, this program provides short-term shelter for the animals until their guardians are able to move into safe homes. Pets remain in the shelter for up to about two weeks. If pet owner is in contact with shelter, longer arrangements may be made. Pet could be placed in a foster care program.
