Jelly Bean Jump Up Pet Photo Contest

Join in the fun and help support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault who rely on SafeHouse Center for support. 

We spend our lives hoping that our homes will be safe and a happy place for all of our family members, including the furry ones. Unfortunately, in a home where intimate partner violence is occurring, perpetrators frequently take out their violence on things we love, including our beloved pets. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 71% of pet owners entering a domestic violence shelter report that their intimate partner had threatened to injure or kill the family pet(s).

Your donation to SafeHouse Center will keep our programs and services available to anyone in our community, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More information about SafeHouse Center.
