We love RedRover and all it does for animals in need, especially those being rescued from dangerous and disastrous situations. In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we felt it was a good time to donate a bit more than usual. I am a domestic abuse survivor and I got my corgi, Cheryl, to help with my PTSD about 2 years after I escaped my nightmare. She is my best friend and greatest comfort. We got involved with RedRover during the Purple Leash Project, and we use our leash every day! RedRover is close to my heart for that reason, and I want to make this gift on behalf of both me and Cheryl.

I wish I had a place to go when I was in this very situation. This project is so very needed.

After reading the content on your website, I fell hard for this initiative. What a brilliant cause making sure that domestic violence shelters includes pets so that they can be together and heal together. It makes so much sense.

My dog, my darling Bonnie, was the only reason I survived. Thank you for this [project].

I lost my sister to domestic violence, she stayed with her husband because she didn't want to leave her big dogs. Thank you for all you are doing.

This program is so incredibly important. I loved my dog but lost her because I had to leave. It's so good to see that this doesn't have to happen anymore to victims. Please don't stop until every DV shelter is pet friendly. Please.

Wish I knew about this a while ago for myself, but so grateful this exists & the help it will provide so many in such a terrible rock-and-a-hard-place situation.

Your mission means a lot to me. Yars ago I stayed in an abusive relationship because I didn't have the means to bring my dog. I never was able to bring him. I'm so glad you will be there for others!

As an abuse survivor who had to leave a puppy behind only to have my abuser kill the dog for spite, I hope my small donation can help someone else not have to make this gut wrenching choice.

I can't imagine having to choose between staying with an abusive partner and leaving my beloved and supportive pet behind.

As someone who stayed in a bad situation too long because of my pet, this is exactly the sort of thing we need more of. I am so glad to see someone is addressing the need!

Wish I'd heard about you when I was having my own troubles. Hopefully this helps someone else get out sooner than I did.

I am a domestic violence survivor. I had to leave my animals behind, which was the scariest part of leaving. I'm honored to be able to help.

I am a survivor of domestic abuse with a cat and dog who were also with me during the abuse. I appreciate the Purple Leash Project and everything that they stand for because I know how it is to be in that situation. Thank you for all the work you guys do.

As a survivor of sexual assault I applaud your recognition that pets are an essential part of the healing process. And that they are family members too!!

I'm so thankful that this program exists. A close loved one is in a domestic violence situation and couldn't leave their partner due to the shelter not accepting their pets. Please continue what you are doing. I truly hope it changes things.
