In every story, there’s a hero. And in this story, you are the hero. You’re the one with the power to make a difference in the lives of domestic violence survivors and their pets. Your love for animals and compassion for those in crisis drive you to want to give back, to be part of something bigger.
But like many of us, you may feel conflicted. You want to do more to support survivors, but time, resources, and the right opportunities may seem out of reach. Maybe you’ve felt powerless to make an impact in the face of such a large problem. We understand this inner struggle.
At Praline’s Backyard Foundation, we exist to provide a solution to this very problem—offering you a way to be part of the change through our domestic violence awareness project. We help house the pets of domestic violence survivors through our partnerships with pet boarding facilities and the incredible generosity of our foster families. Survivors deserve the peace of knowing their beloved pets are safe while they escape dangerous situations, and with your help, they can get that peace.
Many survivors delay leaving their abusers because they have no safe place to take their pets. You care deeply about the well-being of both survivors and their pets, but you may be unsure of how to help in a meaningful way. You believe, as we do, that no one should have to choose between their safety and their pet’s safety. Every pet deserves a secure place, and every survivor deserves to leave without fear.
As part of our domestic violence awareness project, Praline’s Backyard Foundation is here to help. And this October, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re introducing a limited edition of our No Dog Left Behind and No Cat Left Behind t-shirts and hoodies, in the signature domestic violence awareness color—purple. By purchasing one of these products, you are standing up with us to say that no one—human or animal—should be left behind.
Each shirt and hoodie is more than just an article of clothing. It is one of our domestic violence awareness products, a tool to raise awareness and spark conversations about the hidden barriers survivors face when trying to leave an abuser. Most importantly, the proceeds from these pre-sales and future sales go directly to providing pet boarding for survivors’ animals and supporting our foster families.
When you buy one of these products, you are helping survivors escape dangerous situations without the added guilt and anxiety of leaving their pets behind. Together, we are working toward a world where no survivor has to choose between their safety and their pet’s well-being.
We invite you to join us this October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month by pre-ordering your purple No Dog Left Behind or No Cat Left Behind t-shirt or hoodie. Not only will you receive a meaningful, high-quality product, but you will also know that your purchase is directly contributing to our mission of supporting survivors and their pets.
Click here to pre-order your t-shirt or hoodie now and be the hero that a survivor and their pet need.
By wearing your shirt or hoodie in the domestic violence awareness month color, you are helping spread awareness. You are sharing our mission with others. And most importantly, you are becoming part of a community dedicated to ensuring that no pet gets left behind.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can provide hope, safety, and love where it’s needed most.
