NEW YORK, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Purina is teaming up with actress, producer, advocate and founder of the Joyful Heart Foundation, Mariska Hargitay to unveil "Courageous Together," a new statue by renowned "Fearless Girl" artist Kristen Visbal depicting a woman and her dog, connected by a purple leash and taking a courageous first step forward, together, as survivors leaving their abuser. The statue was commissioned as part of the Purple Leash Project, an initiative led by Purina and the nonprofit, RedRover, that aims to help more domestic violence shelters become pet-friendly so that survivors with pets can escape abuse and heal together. Currently, fewer than 20% of domestic violence shelters in the U.S. allow pets.

Key Points: 
  • Currently, fewer than 20% of domestic violence shelters in the U.S. allow pets.
  • Startling statistics reveal that nearly half of domestic violence survivors delay leaving abusive situations because they cannot bring their pets with them.
  • Since 2019, Purina and RedRover have provided 48 Purple Leash Project grants to domestic violence shelters across the country.
