Pets in Crisis- DVConnect

For any pet lover whose animal is part of the family - the thought of leaving them behind in an emergency is unthinkable! 

Sadly pets are often abused as part of the spectrum of domestic and family violence. The majority of refuges/shelters in Queensland do not allow pets. This results in many people staying in abusive relationships because they are scared of what might happen to them if they are left with the abuser.  

The Pets In Crisis program is a collaboration with the RSPCA Queensland and the Queensland Government. The program is designed to care for pets of those experiencing violence in their relationship, until they can find safe, alternative accommodation. 

While in the care, the RSPCA Queensland fund and provide safe accommodation, healthy food and medical attention. In many cases the pet is given additional veterinary care to help pre-existing conditions. These conditions may be a result of the abuser hurting the family pet, or not allowing finances to be spent on vital vaccinations or care if it is sick/injured. 

Any type of pet is accepted, provided there is a suitable place for them to be cared for. In 2019-20 the Pets In Crisis program cared for 139 pets. This included 87 dogs, 46 cats, 4 birds, 1 guinea pig and 1 pig.

Pets in Crisis - helps families and saves lives!

Knowing that their pets will be cared for and that they can be reunited as soon as they can get back on their feet is sometimes the catalyst for many women having the courage to take that vital step towards leaving a violent domestic situation and protecting themselves their children and just as importantly their pets.

No pets should be at risk of being abused and no one should feel that they can't leave a violent home.
