Heart for Adelaide Award Goes to Safe Pets Safe Families

On Monday 4^th March the Life FM Roadies presented the Heart for Adelaide Award to Safe Pets Safe Families.

Safe Pets Safe Families is a not for profit registered charity providing support through programs and services to pet owners in the South Australian community facing disadvantage or crisis, such as domestic violence, homelessness, mental illness or a medical emergency.
Safe Pets Safe families is a team of passionate volunteers who commit their time to keep pets safe and with their loving families.

Founder Jennifer Howard started Safe Pets Safe Families after surviving her own experience of domestic violence. Sadly, Jennifer did not have a choice on whether to keep her beloved dogs when she fled to safety with her children. Her only option was to surrender them to a shelter where she fears they may be been euthanised unnecessarily.

“Pets are family and no one should have to choose between safety or housing and their pets or even medical treatment or food. It shouldn’t have to be a choice”.
