This project was made possible by a $175,000 grant from PetSmart Charities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 70 percent of victims of intimate partner violence report their abusers also harmed or threatened their pets,\u201d said Kate Atema, director of Community Grant Initiatives at PetSmart Charities. \u201cEnsuring that refuges are pet-friendly helps victims escape, knowing their pets will be welcome and safe. During times of crisis, pets and people need each other more than ever, and we applaud New Life Center\u2019s innovative thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 52 percent of those staying in shelters had to leave their pets with their abusers. Leaving pets with abusers can hinder a domestic violence victim\u2019s healing as well as put the animal\u2019s safety in danger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnimals play an essential role during a survivor\u2019s healing journey, and these new amenities will ensure their stay at the shelter is as comfortable as possible,\u201d said Myriah Mhoon, CEO of NLC.<\/p>\n<p>The grant will also support pet housing in survivors\u2019 rooms at the shelter, options for fostering their pets off-site, emergency care, access to food, veterinary care, and supplies like leashes, collars, crates and toys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New dog park welcomes pets of domestic violence survivors New Life Center, one of the largest domestic violence shelters in<a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/new-life-center-opens-dog-park-for-pets-of-domestic-violence-survivors\/\" title=\"ReadNew Life Center Opens Dog Park for Pets of Domestic Violence Survivors\">&#8230; Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1318"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1385,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318\/revisions\/1385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newlifectr.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
