This year’s theme is “That 70s Walk\, Can You Dig It?” in which 70’s-style  clothes for pets and people is encouraged! \n\nEvery year\, hundreds of participants walk to become a part of the solution by raising awareness about the impact of domestic abuse on pets and their owners. Harbor House is the only domestic violence organization in Central Florida to have an on-site kennel on its campus – and one of a handful in Florida. \n  \nThe kennel was an important addition to the shelter in 2012 because it removed a barrier for survivors. They no longer had to make the choice to leave their animal behind. \n– 65% of survivors’ delay leaving an abusive situation for fear their pets will be maimed or killed \n– 88% of pets living in domestic violence homes are either abused or killed \n– 71% of pet-owning women entering a safe haven reported their batterer had injured\, killed or threatened family pets for revenge or to psychologically control victims \n\nThe PAWS Walk raises the necessary funds to keep the kennel in operation; and in turn\, keeping pets and their families safe. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to fund veterinary and kennel services for survivors’ pets staying in the short-term emergency housing at Harbor House. \n\nMeet Ted Maines\, owner of Ted Maines Interiors and philanthropist\, and his miniature greyhound\, Donatella\, who are honorary co-chairs of the event for the sixth year in a row along with Kelly Cohen and Scott Lloyd with their Yorkshire terrier\, Oliver. \n\nIn addition\, there’ll be pet vendors’ on-hand and socially distanced for unique animal gifts and services and pet yoga. \n\nPHOTOS FOR MEDIA USE: Past event photos\, and the PAWS for Peace Walk and Harbor House logos can be accessed by clicking here.
