Pet friendly domestic abuse shelter Urban Resource Institute, NYC domestic violence shelter, allows pets 40 percent of victims won't leave because of their pets! 70 percent of ones who have left say their abuser threatens, hurts or kills their pet.... |
That's great that the shelter takes pets. I would think it would be hard to leave a pet behind if you knew something would happen to it. |
I wish all other areas would get on board. 40 percent is a large number! |
I've read before how many people won't leave abusive homes bc they don't want to leave their furkids behind - both bc they consider them their kids, and/or bc they're terribly worried the abuser will hurt the animals :(. I love it that shelters have been starting to support pets. Also, some will help victims find a foster for their pet if the the shelter doesn't take them on. |
