The Purple Leash Project

About The Purple Leash Project
The Purple Leash Project was born out of the Purina mission to bring and keep pets and people together and the RedRover® mission to bring animals and their owners from crisis to care.
The Issue
An estimated one in three women and one in four men experience some form of domestic abuse in their lifetimes, but the percentage of domestic violence shelters that can take pets is only 17%.
About Redrover
RedRover is diligently working with domestic violence shelters and service providers to ensure that domestic violence survivors and their pets can escape abuse together.
Resources
Find resources for victims of domestic violence and their pets, veterinarians, domestic violence shelters and advocates.
Survivor Stories
The Purple Leash Project is positively impacting the lives of domestic violence survivors and their families by helping to give domestic violence shelters the ability to welcome family pets.
