    Our final episode for Series 3!


    Refuge4Pets is a specialist Animal Fostering Service across Devon and Cornwall to victim-survivors of domestic abuse so that they can leave with their much-loved animals. Often individuals and families escaping domestic abuse are unable to take their animals with them, as most temporary accommodation does not allow pets. In many cases, this will stop people from leaving. I’m joined today by Mary, CEO of Refuge4Pets, to tell us more about the service. This episode contains conversations around abuse of pets and animals. Please take care when listening and note that this episode is not suitable for children. If you are affected by anything talked about in today’s episode, please reach out for support.
