 ompanion animals behind when they seek shelter from their abusers. This be
 comes more difficult in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Victims who are q

 ources to seek help with their pets. This webinar will provide a critical 
 review of the research\, including an examination of the human-animal bond
 \, the co-occurrence of domestic violence and pet abuse\, and how the seve

 r pets. Finally\, participants will learn about options that survivors wit
 h pets have when leaving their abusers\, whether that be through temporary
  boarding or through shelters.\n\nThe discussion will include accommodatio
