Journal Article: Animals & IPV- Experiences of Service Providers

Jun 18, 2021

The article Animal Safekeeping in Situations of Intimate Partner Violence: Experiences of Human Service and Animal Welfare Professionals is now available online in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. Read the journal article here.  Read the text version of the article here.

This study documented human service and animal welfare service providers’ experiences supporting victims/survivors of IPV who owned pets and livestock, and included service providers in rural and northern communities in Saskatchewan. Online surveys were completed by 128 human service professionals (including domestic violence shelter workers, domestic violence counsellors, victim services workers, police, and legal professionals) and 43 animal welfare professionals (including workers from animal rescues, humane societies, SPCAs, and veterinary clinics) (n= 171). Respondents shared information relating to their awareness of the link; their experiences responding in situations of IPV and concurrent animal abuse, including arranging animal safekeeping in situations of IPV; and successes and challenges related to effective service provision.
