But behind the stats are survivors trapped in abuse — staying to protect their pets.

Happy #NationalPetDay! 🐾

Pets bring love, joy, & comfort, yet many survivors fear leaving them behind. #RubysLaw aims to protect pets in domestic abuse cases, ensuring they’re included in protective orders. No one should choose between safety and their pet. 🐶🐱

Every day, survivors of domestic abuse face an impossible choice, stay in danger or leave behind their beloved pets. Too many suffer in silence, trapped by fear, because current laws fail to protect the animals they love.
