My Journey with Red Rover and the Purple Leash Project
Hey Everyone,
I’m Stephanie Frank, a canine and human behaviorist, a survivor of domestic violence, and a proud volunteer for RedRover by Purina. I’m excited to share my passion for the Purple Leash Project and its incredible impact on survivors of domestic violence and their beloved pets.
A Personal Connection to the Cause
Not only am I a canine expert, but I’ve also walked the path of a domestic violence survivor. My personal journey has fueled my commitment to advocate for the unique bond between humans and their furry companions. I believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of building dog runs for domestic violence safety shelters.
The Issue
Statistics show an estimated one in three women and one in four men experience some form of domestic abuse in their lifetimes – but currently only 17% of domestic violence shelters accept pets.
All to often, victims of domestic violence won’t leave their abuser because they don’t have a safe place to bring their dog. RedRover is changing that.
Soft Hands and Warm Hearts: RedRover’s Mission
As a volunteer, I get to be a part of RedRover’s mission to bring animals and people from crisis to care. The staff and volunteers, including myself, extend soft hands and warm hearts to those in need, providing a lifeline for survivors and their pets.
Celebrating the RedRover and Purina Team
I take immense pride in being a volunteer for RedRover and Purina, witnessing firsthand their collective efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of survivors and their pets. Through our collaboration, we’re creating more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters spreading hope and awareness as well as rescuing animals from emergency situations.
