Chatham Off Leash Dog Park, Water St., Chatham., Sunday November 6, 2016 – 11 am – 1pm CK Animal Rescue invites the community and their dogs to come out and participate in the 5th Annual Purple Leash Awareness Event on Sunday November 6, 2016 at the Chatham Off Leash Dog Park, Water St., Chatham. For every donation of $10 or more, donors will receive a Purple Leash.
The Purple Leash Awareness Event is to raise awareness for the pets who are also victims of domestic violence. CK Animal Rescue provides temporary safe haven for those animals within the Purple Leash Foster Program. The Purple Leash Foster program is unique to CK Animal Rescue. It was established in 2012 to assist those in domestic abuse situations. Research indicates that more than 40% of women experiencing domestic violence and who own pets, delay their escape to safety if it means leaving a pet behind.
Donations make it possible for us to provide free temporary foster care for the pets of those fleeing domestic abuse. The dogs are loved and cared for until the pet guardian can be reunited with them. Thanks to generous donors and volunteers both the lives of the pet guardian and their pets are saved. This year we will also be drawing a winner for our 50/50 raffle at our Purple Leash event. Monies raised from the 50/50 tickets will support our Purple Leash Foster Program (purpleleash.com) and all the animals we care for.
