Partnerships

HAWS

To help keep survivors and their pets safe, we have a partnership with Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) of Waukesha County. Survivors coming into shelter can bring their pets with them. The pets are temporarily housed in a safe place, then HAWS cares for them until the survivor has a safe place to go. This partnership helps remove a major barrier to safety.

LAP

We work with local law enforcement agencies, encouraging them to call our Hotline either from the scene or immediately after they are called to the scene of a domestic violence incident, so they can connect the victim to our services, and through the Lethality Assessment Protocol, which helps to ensure high risk victims are immediately identified & offered support and safe shelter.
