Safe Pet Program |
| |
| Safe Pet Program ensures safety for "other
special family members" |
 |
| |
If a victim is hesitant of leaving an
abusive environment because of their love for their pets, our Safe Pet program helps
to alleviate this concern.
The Safe Pet Shelter Program is available for companion animals such as
cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, guinea pigs, or other domestic pets. Exotic
animals such as snakes, iguanas and lizards, etc. must arrive in a secure
living environment, and remain therein. The Safe Pet facility can house up
to two animals per owner. If the owner has more, the situation can be
evaluated as to how many pets can be accepted into the program. The Safe Pet
Facility provides food, water, exercise and tender loving care for the
duration of the pet’s stay.
When entering the program, the owner must provide Opportunities with proof
of pet ownership. While maintaining weekly contact with the Domestic
Violence/Rape Crisis Program concerning the duration of the pets stay, pets
can be admitted for up to two weeks. Extensions are evaluated on an
individual basis.
The Safe Pet Shelter Program is another way the Domestic Violence/Rape
Crisis Program is making our community a safe, healthy living environment
for everyone.
