Know Your Rights! on red background. Be sure to advocate for yourself! DSS is required by law to provide placement that meets your needs. Support and service animals are NOT pets. Ask for a reasonable accommodation request form at intake! For more info and resources, visit: nls.org
Nearly half of DV survivors stay in abusive situations rather than leave their pet behind and many shelters do not allow pets. But don't forget - you have the RIGHT to reasonable accommodations!
