A common barrier preventing women from leaving an abusive living situation is their pets. The SPCA recognizes this and now offers refuge to pets whose owners are fleeing domestic violence.
Contact the SPCA to keep your pet safe
Moving to a relative’s or into transition housing often is not conducive to bringing a pet along.
Contact the SPCA and tell them you need assistance keeping your pet safe while you move to safety yourself.
