healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2020/08/13/pet-safety-in-domestic-violence.aspxStory at-a-glance As of 2020, 35 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico have enacted legislation to include provisions for pets in domestic violence protection orders Bill CS/SB 1082: Domestic Violence Injunctions, signed into law in June 2020, ensures that as of July 1, 2020, pets in Florida may be named in domestic violence protective orders Once a pet is included in a protective order, the abuser cannot legally go near the pet and faces a criminal charge if the order is violated Women living at domestic violence shelters were nearly 11 times more likely to say that their partner had hurt or killed pets than those who had not experienced domestic violence The Safe Havens Mapping Project offers a database of sheltering services available for the companion animals of domestic violence victims If you cannot find a safe haven shelter or foster home for your pet near you, some humane societies and veterinarians will temporarily house pets in domestic violence situations My notes: Too many stories of women staying with an abusive partner 'cos they have a pet. Sad they have to choose like that! I'd live in my car with my pet if need be.
