PetsEmpower.org is a nonprofit umbrella organization increasing access to short-term fostering for domestic violence survivors in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We give courageous domestic violence survivors a positive alternative to pet relinquishment or remaining in abusive situations with their pet due to a lack of options to place their pet. We allow owners to find safety for themselves and their pets through short-term pet fostering and and later reunite, generating positive health outcomes.

Through accelerator programs such as Social Enterprise Greenhouse in Providence, RI and MassChallenge in Boston, MA we hope to expand our assistance to seniors, addicts, veterans and others trying to escape crisis. Please join us!
