Programa VioPet
VIOPET is a program that offers temporary shelter to the animals of women who are victims of gender and family violence. This initiative, a pioneer at a national level, was created in 2013 with the aim of providing support in emergency situations. It arose in response to the concern of a multidisciplinary group of professionals—doctors, police officers, social workers, veterinarians, educators, criminologists, canine and feline trainers, volunteers and presidents of animal protection associations, as well as residences—who, in the absence of a specific program, had to find accommodation for the animals of victims of violence on their own initiative. We do not receive any public or private subsidy. Thank you very much on behalf of all the victims.
