Banfield Pet Hospital

As many as 48 percent of domestic violence victims remain in abusive situations because they fear for the family pet. With only six to 10% of domestic violence shelters allowing pets, Banfield Foundation launched Safer Together, a $1 million commitment to increase pet friendly domestic violence programs across the country. To raise awareness for the issue, the Foundation partnered with Russell Wilson to create a public service announcement and conduct national media interviews.

After a devastating hurricane season and uncovering that 91 percent of pet owners are not prepared for the next natural disaster, the Banfield Foundation, Banfield Pet Hospital’s charitable arm, and Coyne created a campaign to educate pet owners on the best ways to include your pets in your family’s disaster preparedness plan.
