Safe Pets Safe Families or how I see the name Safe Pets = Safe Families is a registered Charity servicing the Australian community with frontline crisis foster and vet care services, ongoing support and developing intervention programs to stop the cycle of violence. SPSF was started in 2013 by myself Jennifer Howard in South Australia. I experienced domestic violence and had to flee to safety with my children into a domestic violence shelter without the option to take my much-loved dogs, I never got to see them again. They ended up at the pound and likely euthanised. You can read more of my story at www.safepetssafefamilies.org.au and find great resources if you are interested in the link!
The pain and injustice I felt have never left me, it still haunts me to this day. I cant change my story and bring my dogs back but I can change other peoples stories. So here is Amber's story.
