Almost half of domestic violence victims are hesitant to leave their situation because it would mean leaving their companion pet behind. In Mariposa County, they don’t have to. Mountain Crisis Services has made it possible for victims and their pet to leave their abusive situation and to obtain a safe haven for all. Dogs and Cats are the only animal companions to come into shelter currently.
Once in the shelter, our pet advocate can assist you and your loving pet with pet care and any other needs. If you need help leaving an abusive situation or just have a question, call our 24/7 Hotline at 1-888-966-2350. You and your pet deserve to be safe.
“MCS provides hope, support, advocacy, and empowerment for those who are or who have been victims of intimate partner domestic violence and/or sexual assault.”
