This is a follow up to an earlier article on animal cruelty and domestic violence. If you know of someone who is a victim of domestic violence and can't or won't leave their home because they fear what will happen to their pets if left behind, there are a growing number of shelters that provide housing for pets.
Harbor House in Orlando, Florida is one of those shelters. Click here to read an article about the opening of their shelter.
Support your lawmakers for proposing and supporting bills that punish individuals who harm pets in domestic violence situations.
