Leaving because of DV when you have a dog

[thatsalad]

I have to leave my house due to DV quickly. I have somewhere to go and I will leave next week while he is at work, but we have a dog and I cannot take her with me. I feel so guilty for leaving her and scared I will lose my nerve and stay because of her.

Has anyone been in this situation before and have advice? Is there any support for this, do DV charities offer counselling for when you leave or something? Thank you in advance for responding.

What sort of accommodation are you going to? I think there is an organisation that will foster a dog in these circs until you can take her back.

House share because I cannot afford anything else, the abuse is financial as well. I cannot take the dog into a houseshare.

Is he going to look after the dog properly or abuse that too do you think?

Could a relative look after the dog

Have you tried Cinnamon Trust

Is this any help?

Cinnamon trust will foster and return once you are back on your feet. Good luck

Some smaller charities have schemes but will depend where you are

Dogs trust have a fostering programme. I know someone who fosters a dog long term through that scheme .
