    Pets & DV

    Pets & DV

    Often times, when we think about safety planning for survivors of domestic violence, we don’t always think about the choices they have to make about one of the most special creatures to them - their pets. 


    Join Racheal Reed-Maloney (she/her) and Katie Campbell (she/her), the Director of Collaboration & Outreach at Red Rover, as they discuss how perpetrators of violence use pets as a way to maintain power and control over survivors, the impact domestic violence has on pets, and options survivors have when they are considering leaving an abusive relationship.
