THE LINK




The Safe Havens Mapping Project is a searchable directory for pets of those experiencing domestic violence, created and managed by the Animal Welfare Institute.

Search near you for safe havens for pets of individuals who are experiencing domestic violence





The Animal Welfare Institute launched the Safe Havens for Pets database in 2011. Safe havens are sheltering services that help individuals who are experiencing domestic violence place their companion animals out of harm’s way so that these individuals may seek safety for themselves. Entities included in the directory—which is continually refined and updated—provide sheltering services for the animals of domestic violence victims, have a relationship with an entity that does, or provide referrals to such facilities.
