WHY A PET WALK?
- Family violence and animal abuse are closely linked. Where there’s one, there’s often the other.
- Fear for a pet’s safety is why many people remain in, or delay leaving situations of family violence.
- The MHWSS & MHSPCA’s Pet Safekeeping Program helps provide short-term housing for pets if someone is leaving an abusive situation.
