Bright Horizons
Paws for Hope Program
Safety for Pets, Hope for Families
Since opening our doors in March 2016, ASNN has proudly partnered with Bright Horizons, a shelter for individuals escaping domestic abuse. The need is urgent—according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, up to 40% of survivors hesitate to leave dangerous situations for fear of what might happen to their pets.
At ASNN, we’ve created a solution: a safe, confidential haven for the animals of domestic violence victims—completely free of charge. With the peace of mind that their pet is secure and well cared for, survivors can take the first courageous steps toward healing and rebuilding their lives.
Each pet entrusted to us receives:
- Veterinary care as needed, including spay/neuter when applicable
- Secure housing in a compassionate environment
- Nutritious meals and attentive daily care
It’s more than shelter—it’s a promise of safety, dignity, and a brighter future for families and their four-legged companions.
In 2019, we recognized that the need for short-term pet care extended far beyond its original purpose. Today, our program is open to anyone facing a personal crisis, offering compassionate support during life’s most challenging moments.
Whether you're experiencing:
- A medical emergency
- Job or income loss
- Housing instability
- Health-related complications
- The passing of a loved one
We’re here to ensure your pets are safe and cared for—so you can focus on healing and finding stability.
Committed to providing a home for the homeless, no matter the cause.
