1 Sheltering Animals & Families Together (SAF-T) : Saving lives Allie Phillips, J.D. Founder of SAF-T Director, National Center for Prosecution of Animal Abuse Deputy Director, National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse National District Attorneys Assoc. Alexandria, VA aphillips@ndaa.org
2 What is SAF-T? The first and only global program to encourage domestic violence shelters to allow families to bring pets on-site Recognizes pets as family members Encourages the human-animal bond Provides a way for families to leave abusive homes sooner Victims more likely to cooperate with prosecution It acknowledges The Link
3 Batterers who also abuse their pets are both more controlling and use more dangerous forms of violence [sexual violence, marital rape, emotional violence and stalking] than batterers who do not. -- Simmons & Lehmann (2007) Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Vol. 22, No. 9, p (2007)
4 Kansas City, MO Jan. 2012
5 Pets in the cross fire 18-48% of battered women have delayed leaving an abusive home, or have returned to their batterer, out of fear for the welfare of their pets or livestock. -- Ascione, 2007
6 Harsh Reality Abusers may exploit or target pets to: Coerce compliance with present and future abuse Threaten silence regarding abuse Maintain terror and fright Eliminate source of support/comfort Force the family to return home Reinforces there is no safe place Gain more power and control Failing to provide safe housing for families with pets is a failure in the criminal justice system
7 The Solution! First edition launched February 2008 Second edition launched January
8 SAF-T Statistics Currently 70 shelters housing pets on-site 9 more in-progress 31 states Australia and Canada
9 Why is SAF-T needed? Human-Animal Bond HAB is critical in times of stress Aids in healing and recovery Supports physical and mental health Kids and pets go together Supports empathy for kids Eliminates barriers to safety Keep victims safe (and more cooperative) during prosecution Ends the cycle of violence
10 Why don t all shelters accept pets? Residents/staff have concerns about allergies to pets Concerns about funds to pay for pets Concerns about sustaining the program Concerns about dog bites Concerns of pets being abandoned Concerned about legal issueshe issues!
11 Assessing Need Ask about pets How many Welfare of pets Housing with friends/family Hotline workers prepared with resources Have families delayed getting to safety? Consult with staff
12 How to establish SAF-T Name a program director Work as a MDT Types of pets Housing Style Option 1 = Housing within rooms Option 2 = Separate room within shelter Option 3 = Housing in outside shelter Safety and Security Materials and supplies Noise and allergies Objections from staff or residents
13 Three important criteria MOU with local animal shelter Excess pets Noisy pets Large/exotic animals Aggressive/stressed pets Partner with Veterinarian Veterinary care Obtaining prior vet records Locating a volunteer vet Families care for pets

36 Hermitage, PA AWARE
37 Hermitage, PA AWARE AWARE s program was one that touched the hearts of everyone who heard about it. We told our story to anyone that would listen, which got us invitations to speak at various civic organizations. Through these presentations came monetary donations from the groups as well as from private individuals. AWARE also had fundraisers which included candy bar sales, a zumba class, and pizza sales. A local church did a drive for dishes, beds, and animal toys and Dad s Pet Food, of Meadville, PA, donated coupons for dog and cat food. -- Jackie Fazio
38 Comfort, TX Little Grass Ranch Our first client literally escaped by jumping a fence and running. She is a 17 year old who was abused by her parents, thrown out in the snow and then took refuge with a neighbor. The three horses were starved and had been beaten and the 20 year old mare had an abscess the size of a football. She had not been able to get to them for 6 weeks which really illustrates why we can't leave our animals behind when we go to safety. The woman is doing fine and is a gifted horsewoman with a future in horses. Her horses, dog and cat are safe and cared for now and I can sleep better at night now that she's out of harm's way. -- Christie Kitchens, Director of Little Grass Ranch
39 Comfort, TX Little Grass Ranch After experiencing abuse from alcoholic parents for years, she is remarkably grounded and sane. She credits her horse with keeping her head together in all the chaos.

57 SAF-T Clients Tigger was left with no food or water by the husband for two weeks last time her mom went to a shelter. Kimba was used an target practice for the abuser s son on occasion with a BB gun. Mom finally went to the shelter with Tigger and Kimba.
58 SAF-T Clients Borris and his mom had been living on the streets due to abuse. Borris is a 14 year old Pomeranian with so much life in his eyes. The hair on his back was mostly gone and was coughing and sneezing. Borris was hit and his tail was pulled on by the abuser. He finally received veterinary care for his ailments through the SAF-T Program.
59 June 17, 2009 I will be moving to my new apartment Friday. There are no words to explain the freedom I am feeling. Before I cam here the only joy I had in life was my precious little dog Star. She just turned ten a few months ago. If [the shelter] wouldn t have let me keep her inside the shelter, I would either be on the streets or worse, I might have gone back to my abuser. [T]he last thing he did to me as I was sitting on the curb waiting for the cab, was spit on me, repeatedly, like I was a piece of garbage. Well I m not! I haven t felt this wonderful in fifteen years. - Resident at an Arizona shelter

63 The [SAF-T] shelter has made a world of difference to our participants. I have heard from so many women than they were finally able to leave because they didn't have to leave their "baby" behind. The interaction we see with our participants and their pets is amazing and it seems to be so healing for them to have their furry family member with them. I have heard from them also that they see a difference in their pet being here in comparison to their way they were at home with the abuser. Many have attributed it to the pet being under less stress. I can't possibly express how thankful Mt. Graham Safe House is to the program and what having this shelter has meant to us and our participants. -- Jeannette Aston (Mt. Graham Safe House, Safford, AZ)
