Get Help — You and Your Pets Deserve Safety

Leaving an abusive situation is never simple — especially when you’re worried about a pet you love. Many survivors stay because they fear what will happen to their animals. At Purple Paws for Peace, we make sure you never have to choose between your safety and theirs.

You can reach out whenever it feels safe. Every message is confidential. Our team responds with care and respect, working with shelters, advocates, and law enforcement to create a secure plan for your pets so you can focus on healing.

Pets in our care receive safe housing, gentle handling, and veterinary support. We create calm routines to help them feel protected while you rebuild.

Your safety matters. Your pets’ safety matters. Contact us when you’re ready — we’ll respond with compassion, not pressure.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800.799.SAFE (7233)
