Home isnt just a dangerous place for human victims of domestic abuse

A family pet is often at increased risk too. Many pet owners will stay in an abusive relationship rather than leave their much loved pet behind. Pets are used as a form of control and we are seeing an increase in the number of animals that have sustained injuries due to abuse.

For those fleeing abuse having a pet can be a barrier to accessing refuge and temporary accommodation. Endeavour Pet service provides temporary fostering for pets affected by domestic abuse so that these much loved pets can be returned to their owners.

We need your support to keep these pets safe
