Animals of Domestic Violence

Clients receiving services through the Family Justice Center can access our services through a FJC advocate. We offer free spay/neuter vouchers as well as vaccines and parasite medication at time of spay/neuter at the Northwest Spay & Neuter Center. We stock an on-site pet pantry filled with food and supplies at the FJC that is accessible to their clients, transport animals to DV shelters and provide resources to the FJC advocates to assist clients with services needed to keep survivors and their pets together. Pierce County Animal Control Supervisor, Brian Bowman, advises on cases and assists us when needed to be sure we are following legal guidelines.

Our volunteer, Darcy Nelson, paints portraits of animals to represent those in our DV program to ensure privacy and safety to the survivor and animal.

Please consider donating to our domestic violence program so that we can help the animals escaping DV situations.
