Why should you donate to the SAF-T Program?

There are many reasons why a donation to the SAF-T Program will be a life-saving donation.

(1) The SAF-T Program launched the pet-inclusive domestic violence shelter movement and works shelters across the globe to eliminate this barrier to safety.

(2) Most domestic violence shelters are unsure how to safely pets on-site with their families. The SAF-T Program helps with in-person and online training to help shelters understand the research supporting the SAF-T Program, debunking myths of co-housing, selecting the best housing option, and creating a sustainable program.

(3) SAF-T Founder and Board Members provide FREE assistance to shelters that are looking to co-house pets and helps the shelters every step of the way, including after implementation.

(4) The SAF-T Start-Up Manual is the only one of its kind and is THE guidebook for domestic violence shelters to implement pet-friendly co-housing. SAF-T is continuously in-touch with SAF-T Shelters to receive feedback and testimonials for future editions of the Start-Up Manual.

(5) SAF-T collaborates with national & international organizations, funders to help the individual shelters, and travels to conferences and events to raise awareness about the need for community SAF-T Programs.

All of this important work takes time and donations help with dedicated time to support existing and future SAF-T Shelters.

All donations are tax-deductible and you will be helping us add more SAF-T Shelters in the U.S. and around the globe, thus saving thousands of people & pets annually.
