Short-Term Pet Foster Homes Needed

September 23, 2020

Branch House is currently seeking safe, loving, temporary foster homes for pets of domestic violence victims. Studies show that many victims of domestic violence delay leaving their situation out of concern for their pet(s). Many fear that their abuser will harm or kill the animal(s) as revenge for their departure. However, not all victims have the means to get their pets to a safe place. Boarding can become costly very quickly, and they may not have the transportation available to move a pet. Most domestic violence shelters do not have accommodations for pets or provide services to help find pet housing.  A pet foster home allows the victim peace of mind, knowing their pet(s) are taken care of while they work toward a safe future. If you are interested in fostering pets for our clients, please give us a call at 423-574-7233.
