"We give pets safety & love to help families in need"

After seeing how many animals are overlooked when their families face a housing crisis, Kristina Pulsipher decided to find a way to keep pets safe until they could be reunited!

There has to be a better way to help, thought Kristina Pulsipher, 46. Her heart became heavy as she heard yet another story about a family losing their pet when struggling to find a home for themselves. After all, she had spent more than half her life as a social worker, assisting distraught families facing homelessness. And if there was one thing her experience had taught her, it's that when a family loses the place they call home, there is often a particular member who is overlooked and struggling. And that family member turns out to be a pet-or two.

I know I can find a way to blend my social work training with my compassion for animals, Kristina thought as she realized the need for an emergency crisis shelter for pets. Her heart went out to people experiencing homelessness who faced situations such as going to court or therapy or who were dealing with domestic violence or eviction. She knew they needed the peace of mind that their furry loved one would be safe.

I could serve "both ends of the leash," she thought as she cheerfully dreamed up a plan.
