What about my pets?
There is a strong connection between domestic violence and animal cruelty. Sometimes abusers harm or threaten pets to scare and control their families. Alleviating concern about pets is an important part of a person’s decision to leave.
FJC advocates can provide information about an SPCA program to assist you with your pets.
