Because no one should be left behind.
Providing temporary safe placement of pets who, like their owners, need to flee from domestic violence situations.
Rescuing pets from high-kill shelters and finding them loving homes.
On average, 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. This equates to more than 10 million per year (NCADV). Florida's certified domestic violence centers provide emergency shelter to survivors of domestic violence and their children but the majority do not take pets. No one should have to leave their pets behind.
The goal of Animal Safehouse is to remove this barrier by caring for pets while owners are in transition. Our objective is to maintain a network of foster families along with our emergency shelter to provide homes for pets of domestic violence survivors until they can be reunited in a safe living environment. We provide food, supplies, vet care, and other essentials throughout their stay with us. We also help reunite pets and their people post-shelter by assisting with pet deposits and transport (we flew a dog to Oregon!). When rehoming is the best option, we ensure pets find the best possible ‘furever’ homes.
Thank you for your interest and any assistance you may be able to provide our program which aims to protect all victims of domestic violence.

We need fosters to keep our program running.
We have no way to know when a victim can or will escape so we must be ready when they are ready.
