Part III, Line 4a-Program Service Accomplishments (continued) First Responder Program: As part of our Rescue to Adoption Program, we provide the Tempe Police Department access to our shelter 24/7 to drop off pets into our shelter when they are on a call and have pet involved. These compassionate officers bring in stray pets, pets that they have rescued, and pets that have no one to care for them if the owner is arrested, brought to a hospital, shelter or other circumstance.In 2023, we rescued 1,422 dogs and cats and took in another 223 pets through our partnership with the Tempe Police Department. Part III, Line 4b-Program Service Accomplishments (continued) Domestic Violence: Statistics show that 45% of women will not leave an abusive situation for fear of what would happen to their pets if left behind. Of women and children entering a shelter, 85% report that their abuser had threatened, injured, maimed, or killed the family pet for revenge or psychological control. That is why we specialize in helping domestic violence victims. Whether someone is staying with family and friends, or finds housing in a shelter, we're here to provide care for their pets through our Temporary Care Program until they find a safe, permanent home.We also partner with Sojourner Center, a domestic violence shelter, to help them operate a pet shelter on their campus. The cost we incur for our staffing at their shelter and for the medical costs of pets housed at their shelter are reimbursed by Sojourner.
