Animals of Domestic Violence

Clients receiving services through the Family Justice Center can access our services through a FJC advocate. We cover the cost of spay/neuter and vaccines at time of spay/neuter through our partner organizations Pasado’s Mobile Spay Station and 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.
