Fostering hope.

SafePet Ontario coordinates foster care for pets of individuals fleeing violent situations.

We offer long- or short-term fostering options for the duration of a survivor’s transition to safety. Once they’re ready, we reunite owners with their pets so they can move into a better future together.

In Ontario, almost half of women experiencing situations of domestic violence delay leaving their partner or don't leave at all because they're afraid to leave their pet behind at the hands of their abuser.

SafePet Ontario saves lives.

Become a SafePet Ontario foster and provide shelter to animals in need of safety.

Everyone counts.

Volunteers are essential and help spread awareness about the services we offer.

We need your help.
