"My first client came in very apologetic and said, 'I have to go back home.' I tried to tell her she didn't,... she said, 'no, you don't understand.' She pulled out a picture that her mother forwarded her that her husband had sent...They were pictures of him chopping off the ears of her dog with gardening shears. 'I have to go home...If I want to save my dog's life and the lives of the other animals...I have to go home...' We never heard from her again." -Wisconsin Domestic Violence Center Safe Haven For Pets - HSUS View HSUS Brochure
