"Don't Forget The Pets": Sheltering survivors and their pets, together
Intimate partner violence often begets abuse of animals. Very often survivors who plan to leave their abusive partners will not do so without their pets yet are unclear of the options for bringing them into shelter. Dr. Bryna Donnelly, Vice President of Pet Programs for Greater Good Charities, and Rebecca Stewart Executive Director of the Domestic Abuse Family Shelter in Southeast Mississippi help navigate the options for sheltering people and pets together and how domestic violence organizations can build and pay for a pet-friendly shelter at their location.
This episode was recorded on location at the 2023 CCAW and discusses animal abuse, cruelty to animals, domestic violence and child abuse.
