X-WR-CALDESC:A majority of households in the United States share their home
  with a pet or companion animal and\, often\, that animal is a deeply cher
 ished part of the family. However\, in cases of intimate partner violence 
 and abuse\, these beloved animals may be impacted. Pets may become a tool 
 of power and control. Abusive partners may intentionally target an animal 
 for harm or make vicious or coercive threats of harm. In some cases\, the 
 animal may be in the crossfire or\, as a witness\, be negatively impacted 
 by the stress and violence in the home environment. As a result\, domestic
  violence survivors with pets face complicated decisions when attempting t
 o exit a relationship that is abusive. In the most dangerous cases\, they 
 may delay ending the relationship because they will not leave their pets b
