Safe Escape Grants
The RedRover Relief Safe Escape grant program helps families with pets safely escape domestic violence together. Funding is mainly provided to help with the cost of up to 45 days of pet boarding while a survivor is in a domestic violence shelter, though other costs associated with boarding (like vaccinations) can be considered. Assistance does not typically cover pet boarding once the survivor has moved from the domestic violence shelter into transitional housing.
Applications must be submitted by a domestic violence advocate and we will respond within one business day. Funding cannot be guaranteed until after we have received an application and spoken with an advocate. Please see below for more detailed information.
