Safe Pets Safe Families - Keeping People & Pets Together
Research shows that victims of domestic violence are more likely to delay leaving an abusive relationship if they own a pet. Recognising the lack of pet-friendly refuge facilities for these victims, Safe Pets Safe Families was born. Working with registered foster carers and boarding services, they ensure pets stay safe and at the same time, allow owners to get back on their feet before finally being reunited permanently with their beloved pets.
At Safe Pets Safe Families, they know the importance of the bond people have with their animals, especially during tough times. So, when those in the South Australian community face disadvantage or crisis, they are there to help keep pets safe and with their loving owner.
