This #WorldSeniorCitizensDay, AWI recognizes the important role companion animals can play in improving older adults’ quality of life. Unfortunately, there is significant overlap between animal abuse and elder abuse, as the bond between seniors and their pets is sometimes exploited by abusers. Cross reporting of animal and elder abuse can lead to more effective interventions for people and pets. Recognizing and reporting red flags could help you protect seniors in your community. Visit: https://lnkd.in/e-XXp3gY to learn the signs. To help individuals who are experiencing abuse get themselves and their companion animals to safety, AWI established and maintains the Safe Havens for Pets directory.

An excellent article on the state of animal sheltering today, and why!

Fueling the crisis is a complicated host of issues. The type of animals arriving at shelters has changed, there’s a vet shortage and the cost of living has skyrocketed. It’s left shelters operating at capacity, with growing waitlists to bring animals in. The award-winning journalist Holly Lake takes a closer look at the crisis and what you need to know about it in our latest article. Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/gnaytHcq
