24 Hour Crisis & Support Line
Safe Haven for Pets
Domestic violence survivors with pets may be hesitant to leave an abusive situation if they are unable to remove their pets from danger as well.
The Safe Haven for Pets program provides:
- Safe, anonymous foster care for pets of domestic violence survivors until they can secure safe, permanent housing
- Food and any needed veterinary care for pets while in foster care
- The opportunity for survivors to visit frequently with their pets
The Safe Haven for Pets program is a partnership between AWAIC and another nonprofit. To protect the safety and confidentiality of our participants, we cannot disclose the name of the other nonprofit. We are also unable to accept donations on behalf of the other organization.
If you are struggling to leave an abusive situation out of concern for your pet(s), please call AWAIC’s 24-hour crisis and support line at (907) 272-0100.
