Helping 25% of domestic violence shelters become pet friendly by 2025
Join the Pet-Friendly Movement
Every year, more than 10 million people in the United States are physically abused by an intimate partner, and this abuse affects pets, too.
Domestic violence shelters provide a safe and secure place to recover from trauma, but many do not allow pets. RedRover, in partnership with PetSmart Charities and Greater Good Charities, and with support from Purina, is committed to change that.
Keeping Survivors and Their Pets Together
 The campaign is working to increase the number of shelters that can take in both survivors and their pets once they've escaped abuse. We’re doing this by advocating for pet-friendly policies, distributing grants, and providing technical and one-on-one support.
Explore ways to create and sustain pet-friendly housing programs through free trainings hosted by RedRover and Greater Good Charities’ Rescue Rebuild program.
