ANGELS PROGRAMS
Be A Survivors For Strays GUARDIAN ANGEL!
Our Guardian Angels Program is unique and very special. Guardian Angels are people who open their hearts and homes to long-term foster the furry family members of victims of domestic abuse that must leave their unsafe environment in order to Survive. Many other organizations have a Program to help, but theirs are only 30 days. After that, some offer an extended 30 days. It is extremely difficult for someone to get back on their feet or at least to a place they can safely sustain themselves, their children, and their pets. After 60 days, those other organizations will adopt them out. New Survivors will lose their furry family members. As Survivors, we feel that is tragic and contributes to more trauma, as this is when they are needed the most! They provide emotional and psychological support that is beneficial and crucial to the health and well-being of both the human family and furry family members themselves.
The lives of pets – 71% of domestic violence victims reported that their abusers had threatened, injured, or killed their pets (according to the Humane Society of the United States).
Guardian Angels are Saving Lives:
The lives of people – 48% of respondents in a Battered Women’s Justice Project study refused to leave an abusive situation because they had nowhere to take their pets. Domestic abuse results in at least 1,300 deaths each year in the United States (according to Emory School of Medicine).
As Survivors and Supporters of Survivors, our experience and dedication will inspire others to volunteer and contribute. We hope it will provide courage to those who need to take that life-saving first step from Victim to Survivor.
