PetSmart Charities commits $2.1 million to keep domestic abuse survivors and their pets together
Every minute, an estimated 20 people suffer from abuse — and with as few as 10% of domestic violence shelters accepting pets— survivors are faced with heartbreaking and dangerous decisions. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (in October), PetSmart Charities has committed $2.1 million towards keeping domestic violence survivors and their pets together during these unprecedented times. The funding supports pet-friendly domestic violence shelters, pet deposits for pet-friendly housing, emergency pet boarding, and other initiatives.
