Help for the Silent Victims of Domestic Violence

4:54 pm Blog

Thanks to Susan Cadley, LPC, CSC of Living from Within LLC Counseling & Coaching Services, Suwanee, GA 678-296-1278 for sharing this information.

Did you know there is a resource available for the family pets of victims of domestic violence? When a family or person leaves a domestic violence situation, leaving an animal behind is yet another loss and can be dangerous for the pet. Ahimsa House is a resource that will foster, vet and care for family pet where safe shelter is required.

Last year Ahimsa House paid for 3000 room nights for animals from domestic violence situations - cats, dogs, horses, etc. There is always a need for foster homes and fund raising activities cover the organizations costs. This month Ahimsa House presents Walk `N Wag on 10/10/2009. Consider supporting them by bringing your dog(s) out of a walk or visiting the event.
