SAAV
The SAAV Program ("Sheltering Animals of Abuse Victims")
The SAAV Program is a 501(c)(3) all volunteer non-profit organization providing temporary shelter for the animals of domestic abuse victims attempting to leave an abusive relationship and raising community awareness about the link between domestic abuse and animal cruelty. The SAAV Program's shelter services are provided in Dane County, Wisconsin. Community education service is provided everywhere!
FOR HELP: In Case of An Emergency, Dial 911. Victims interested in using The SAAV Program should contact the 24 hour help line for Domestic Abuse Intervention Services at 1-608-251-4445 or toll-free at 1-800-747-4045.
For information about creating a shelter program, or if you would like one of our volunteers to do an educational training regarding the link between domestic abuse and animal cruelty, please contact us.
The SAAV Program is made possible through a generous collaboration with Domestic Abuse Intervention Services ("DAIS") and the Dane County Humane Society ("DCHS"). To DAIS and DCHS, our partners in ending violence against both human and animal victims of domestic abuse, we cannot thank you enough for your dedication and support of our mission.
Helping Domestic Abuse Victims, By Helping Their Animals.
