028/2018 Paws Protect

The PCC has approved a total funding contribution of £15,420.72 to March 2020 to Paws Protect.

A high percentage of abuse victims report their pets have been threatened, injured or killed by the perpetrator.  Victims have reported as not wanting to leave the abusive homes as they do not want to leave their pet.

Paws Protect removes the barrier victims face when trying to flee domestic abuse by providing a fostering service for the pet.
