LIST OF PROGRAMS PROVIDING SHELTER FOR ANIMALS/PETS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS
Current through 1/8/10
Notes:
1. This list contains only programs verified to be in operation as of the date above. Please contact president@ahimsahouse.org with any programs to be added to this list. If you do not see a program in your area, please email us and we may be able to assist you in locating services.
2. These programs, which may be called "safe havens for pets," "animal safehouses" or "pet safe keeping" programs, vary considerably in scope and structure. Some are independent nonprofit organizations; others are formal partnerships between domestic violence shelters and animal agencies; still others consist simply of a network of volunteers. Programs may house animals on-site at a domestic violence shelter (indicated by an asterisk [*]), at an animal shelter, at a veterinary clinic or boarding facility, in foster homes, or in another setting. Ahimsa House makes no representation as to the services provided by the programs listed below.
The American Humane Association also maintains a list of domestic violence shelters providing on-site accommodation for pets:
