Pets are part of the family, and unfortunately that means that in instances of domestic violence, they are also on the front lines. It is excruciating to be forced to choose between your own safety and the safety of your pet. For many, staying with their pets often means staying in an abusive situation. That is why we have a pet-friendly shelter; so that when folks are ready to leave, they can bring their family with them to safety at ANOVA. But we can’t do it alone. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
