In the last few years, researchers and advocates have examined how pet abuse and domestic violence are related, and how important pets are to domestic abuse victims.

Research shows that domestic violence offenders often have a pattern of abuse involving all members of the household – including children and pets.

Washington Domestic Violence Shelters That Take Dogs

As a result, domestic violence victims that own pets must try to find shelters/organizations that will take companion animals or leave their pets with their abuser.

Statistics on domestic violence and animal abuse

(from RedRover.org):

52 percent of victims in shelters leave their pets with their batterers (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence)
Up to 65 percent of domestic violence victims are unable to escape their abusers because they are concerned about what will happen to their pets when they leave (Carlisle-Frank, Frank and Nielsen, 2004)
71 percent of pet-owning women entering women’s shelters reported that their batterer had injured, maimed, killed or threatened family pets for revenge or to psychologically control victims; 32 percent reported their children had hurt or killed animals (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence)

To help domestic violence victims find organizations/shelter that take pets, the Animal Welfare Institute put together a list of groups in the US that either provide sheltering services for the companion animals of domestic violence victims, have a relationship with an entity that does, or provide referrals to these facilities.

Here is the list of these places in Washington state. Many thanks to these shelters/organizations that recognize the important of pets to victims of domestic violence.
