Safe Havens Directory

LIST OF PROGRAMS PROVIDING ASSISTANCE FOR ANIMALS/PETS IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Notes:

1. Please contact director@ahimsahouse.org with any programs to be added to this list, or if you know of a program no longer in existence. 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. This directory is for informational purposes only. Ahimsa House makes no representation or endorsement as to the services provided by the programs listed below.

The Animal Welfare Instititute also maintains a directory of programs that offer assistance with pets in domestic violence.

Allie Phillips also maintains a list of domestic violence shelters providing on-site accommodation for pets.
