I’m Venus.
The night we left, it was dark and quiet. My mom and I had been hurt. Not just scared—hurt. She couldn’t take it anymore. So she scooped me up, and we fled. No plan. No place to go. Just the two of us and a car to sleep in.
For two weeks, that car was our home. I never left her side. I curled up while she’d hold me close.
She needed a new job. She was ready to fight for our future. But she couldn’t do it with me waiting in the backseat. She needed a safe place for me—just for a little while.
That’s when someone stepped in. A foster for the Pets in Crisis Support Program. They gave me care and comfort while my mom worked to rebuild our life. And when she was ready, I went back to her.
We’re together again now. Still healing, but never alone.
There are more pets like me. More survivors like my mom. And they need someone to help them hold on. They need someone like you.
Fostering through the Pets in Crisis Support Program gives families the chance to stay whole. It’s temporary. But the impact is lasting.
Be the reason another pet makes it home. That a family survives.
