With the inclusion of key elements of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/115th-congress\/house-bill\/6908\">Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act (H.R. 909, S.322)<\/a> in the Farm Bill, Congress took an essential step in removing a roadblock to the safety of these survivors with pets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to bipartisan passage of the PAWS Act by Congress, more domestic violence shelters will allow survivors of abuse to heal with the love and support of their beloved pets,\u201d said Nina Leigh Krueger, president of Purina. \u201cThis is an important milestone in the coalition\u2019s collective efforts to create safer communities for pets and pet owners, and Purina will remain steadfast in our commitment to keeping pets and people together, particularly during times of crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This provision of the Farm Bill establishes grants for domestic violence shelters to carry out programs to provide emergency and transitional shelter and housing assistance or short-term shelter and housing assistance for domestic violence victims with pets, service animals, emotional support animals, or horses. Grants awarded may also be used for programs that provide support services designed to enable someone fleeing domestic violence to locate and secure safe housing with their pet, safe accommodations for their pet, or related services such as transportation and other assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations in the coalition include:<\/p>\n<p>Nestle Purina PetCare<br \/>\nBayer Corporation<br \/>\nHuman Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI)<br \/>\nNoah\u2019s Animal House<br \/>\nPet Partners<br \/>\nUrban Resource Institute<\/p>\n<h3>U.S. Domestic Violence Shelters<\/h3>\n<p>Two of these organizations, Urban Resource Institute and Noah\u2019s Animal House, run domestic violence shelters across the country, which serve to protect both pets and their owners from domestic abuse. Only 3% of U.S. domestic violence shelters accept pets. Together, these two organizations have saved more than 1,500 pets from abusive conditions. The ultimate goal of the PAWS Act is that no domestic violence survivor should be forced to choose between staying in an abusive relationship and leaving their pet with their abuser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we\u2019ve seen throughout the past five years of running <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/opening-of-the-1st-entirely-pet-friendly-domestic-violence-shelter-in-the-u-s\/\">Urban Resource Institute\u2019s PALS (People and Animals Living Safely) Program<\/a>, abusers often threaten to harm or inflict violence on a pet in order to control their victims,\u201d said Nathaniel Fields, President and CEO of URI. \u201cNot only do pet-friendly domestic violence shelters provide a critical avenue for escape, but they also channel the healing power of the human-pet bond during times of crisis and transition. The passage of the Farm Bill is an exciting milestone in this coalition\u2019s work to ensure that all individuals facing abuse and their beloved pets can live the safest, fullest lives possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Fear Factor<\/h3>\n<p>Too often, says Fields, domestic violence victims remain in abusive homes out of fear for their pet\u2019s safety. \u201cThrough the PALS program, domestic violence survivors in New York City are able to find safe harbor with their pets in one of our dedicated shelters. PALS is the largest and only model of its kind in New York State, and this new coalition will help extend that life-saving, pet-inclusive approach to domestic violence shelters across America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PAWS Act Coalition members have been working to promote awareness and encourage support for the legislation, with 247 bipartisan co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and 37 in the Senate. There is now new momentum with the bill\u2019s language included in the recently-passed Senate Farm Bill.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Dean Heller (R-NV), Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) have been crucial in the effort to pass the Pet and Women Safety Act. \u201cI was proud to work with my colleague Senator Gary Peters and several advocacy groups to introduce the PAWS Act, bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would ensure victims are not forced to choose between their personal safety and the safety of their pet,\u201d said U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV). \u201cAs the 5th most bipartisan senator in the U.S. Senate, I\u2019ll continue working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to see that domestic violence survivors in Nevada and around the country have access to critical, life-saving services and programs that meet their needs and allow them to escape abuse and find safe haven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince 2007, Noah\u2019s Animal House has cared for and protected over 1,400 pets of domestic violence survivors for 90,000 boarding nights,\u201d said Staci Columbo-Alonso, founder of Noah\u2019s Animal House. \u201cThe need to provide safety and protection for the pets of these women and children is on the rise, and we are hopeful that in joining this important group of like-minded organizations, we can help more shelters across the country care for these families together.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Industry Partners<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cFor most pet owners, the bond with their pet is incredibly strong, and for people in abusive relationships, their pet can be an important source of comfort,\u201d said Dr. Kurt Venator, DVM, PhD, Chief Veterinary Officer at Purina. \u201cPurina is very proud to support efforts to keep families and their pets together during this time of healing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lauren Dorsch, deputy director of communications at Bayer Animal Health, reinforced the company&#8217;s commitment to passing the legislation. \u201cBayer recognizes the great need to support domestic violence shelters that care for both survivors and their beloved pets. Survivors of domestic violence should not have to choose between their safety and a loved one, and these shelters make it possible for them to heal in a safe place, without saying goodbye to their pets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPet Partners therapy animal team handlers and advocates all across the country are using their grassroots power to support the PAWS Act Coalition, so that pets and people can stick together in traumatic situations \u2013 when they need each other most,\u201d said Annie Peters, CEO of Pet Partners.<\/p>\n<h3>Did You Know?<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Up to 65% of domestic violence victims remain in abusive situations <strong>out of fear for their pets\u2019 safety<\/strong>.(1)<br \/>\n\u2022 According to the Centers for Disease Control, <strong>4,774,000 women in the United States experience physical violence<\/strong> by an intimate partner every year.(2)<br \/>\n\u2022 The <strong>majority of domestic violence situations include pets<\/strong> in the household, and 85% of women residing in domestic violence shelters reported a pet was harmed by their abuser.(3)<br \/>\n\u2022 A growing body of science has demonstrated a <strong>link between domestic violence and animal cruelty<\/strong>.(4)<br \/>\n\u2022 An outlet of emotional support for victims, the <strong>family pet often becomes a target<\/strong> for physical abuse.(5)<\/p>\n<p>Learn to recognize animal abuse and to be an advocate for the animal in our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/articles\/animal-cruelty-your-role-in-identifying-abuse\/\">Animal Cruelty: Your Role in Identifying Abuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>1) https:\/\/www.drmartybecker.com\/healing-power-of-pets\/people-pets-caught-domestic-violence-personal-story\/<\/p>\n<p>2) \u201cPrevalence and Characteristics of Sexual Violence, Stalking, and Intimate Partner Violence Victimization \u2014 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, United States, 2011\u201d CDC\u2019s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) September 5, 2014 \/ 63(SS08); 1-18.
