Safe Haven for Pets of Domestic Violence Survivors

Project Report | May 29, 2024
Domestic Violence Shouldn't Separate Pets and Owners

By Diane Tillotson | Marketing Director

Second Chance launched Project Keep Me, a groundbreaking pilot program aimed at addressing the critical need for companion pet shelter resources for survivors of domestic violence in 2023. Through this program, Second Chance provides temporary housing for the beloved pets of domestic violence survivors, enabling pet owners to seek safe housing arrangements while ensuring the well-being of their animal companions.  In its inaugural year, Project Keep Me assisted 5 pets and their owners.

While Project Keep Me is being offered on a limited basis at this time, we know that the need is great. We receive regular inquiries from domestic violence resource providers working to ensure pet owners have the support they need. 

We are grateful to our compassionate supporters who have made this vital program possible. With your continued support, we hope to expand capacity so no one has to sacrifice the security and love provided by their pet due to domestic violence.
