The Pet Protection Program was developed to remove a barrier for victims of domestic violence entering the Ion Center shelter. This program provides immediate safety for the often overlooked member of a family fleeing abuse. Pets are often abused, neglected, or abandoned by the abusive partner. This fear will often trap a family in an unsafe home for longer than necessary. Through the Pet Protection Program, pets are cared for in a safe environment and receive updated vaccinations. Other health needs are addressed, including spaying/neutering if requested by the owner. When the family leaves the Ion Center shelter, the pets are returned. Pet Packs are provided that include the basic needs of each pet. All services are free.
The CompanION Kennel, located at Ion Center’s Maysville shelter, offers on-site housing and green space for pets of domestic violence victims. Our kennel serves all Ion Center shelters.
