Mohawk & Hudson River Safe Haven: A Program for Pets with Homeless Owners
April 25, 2011

From the program brochure:

Protect yourself and protect your pets.

The Safe Haven program is a partnership between the Mohawk & Hudson River Humane Society, Unity House and Equinox Inc. The goal of the partnership is to eliminate barriers that prevent women from leaving abusers and to educate the community about the connection between animal abuse and domestic violence.

Did you know?

-One in four women are victims of domestic violence.

-Twenty-five percent of woman with pets said they would have left sooner if they had a place for their pet.

-Eighty-five percent of women and 83% of children entering domestic violence shelters discussed incidents of pet abuse in their family.

Mohawk & Hudson River will house a pet who has an owner without a home. Unfortunately, only pets may be provided with shelter. Pets are not eligible for adoption during their stay.
