What the charity does
We offer victims-survivors of domestic abuse an animal fostering service to remove a significant barrier which prevents victims-survivors from leaving. We empower victims-survivors to access the vital safety and support they need before being reunited with their much-loved animals. We contribute to research, policy development and education around the link between domestic abuse and animal abuse.
