The Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) and the Center for Women & Families established the Safe Haven program in 2001 to help care for the pets of domestic violence victims.

Sadly, many women in an abusive relationship delay leaving their spouse or partner due to fear that they may hurt or injure their animal companions. But, KHS offers a "safe haven" for the pets.

While the abuse victim seeks help and shelter from abusive living situations, KHS provides a safe, anonymous home for their animal companions. This program not only provides a safe place for pets, but also helps puts the family at ease, knowing their furry friends will be well care for until they can be reunited.
