Wanted: Pets Allowed in Domestic Abuse Shelters
In 2013 Rita Garza helped launch a new program called: URIPALS and it stands for "People and Animals Living Safely." We allow victims of domestic violence come into shelter with their pet, and live with their pets.
It's estimated that over 3 million people are living with domestic violence, and one in every four women experience domestic violence. Out of that group, an enormous 25% say they stay or return to their abusive relationship because they do not want to abandon their pets, less than 3% of domestic violence shelters will allow abuse victims to bring pets.
