About Ahimsa House, Inc.
In families affected by domestic violence, pets are also at risk. Abusers threaten, injure, and kill family pets to terrorize others in the home--yet most domestic violence shelters are unable to allow pets. Nearly 50% of individuals delay escaping the abuse because of concern about their pets. Ahimsa House, meaning "nonviolence," is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the links between domestic violence and animal abuse. Ahimsa House provides emergency pet safehousing, vet care, safety planning, legal advocacy, a 24-hour crisis line, outreach, and more to help the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together. Ahimsa House serves all victims of domestic violence regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or immigration status.
