We love our pets!
Pets can provide all sorts of health benefits, including encouraging physical activity, reducing stress and anxiety, improving socialization, and increasing our general happiness. They also help teach empathy and compassion, supporting the development of healthy relationship skills. Animals of all kinds can also be working animals, some of which have been trained as therapy and/or emotional support animals for survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence.
Virtual pet show
The Action Alliance held its first ever virtual pet show fundraiser and encouraged people to show their love for their favorite pet or working animal! We all took a little break from the doom scrolling to look at funny, cute, and quirky pets. If you have a pet or working animal and want to support survivors of violence, get ready to enter them into our next Paws for Prevention fundraiser. With eight different categories, there’s a little something for everyone! If you don’t have a pet but love animals or funny videos/photos of them, you can participate by voting for your favorites in each category!
