SafePet Ontario helps people escape violence by providing a safe haven for the animals they love.
47% of domestic abuse survivors delay leaving, or will not leave at all, if they can’t take their pet with them. But most shelters do not accept pets. This critical gap leaves families in harm’s way.
SafePet bridges the gap, placing pets with carefully chosen foster families while survivors access the safe housing and support they need, sooner.
Safe pets mean safe families. It's that simple.
