About Us
Sheltering Animals of Abuse Victims (SAAV) is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing temporary shelter for the animals of domestic abuse victims attempting to leave an abusive relationship.
Through a confidential network of foster homes and other shelter locations, SAAV provides a critical resource for domestic abuse victims and their animals in Dane County. SAAV also raises community awareness nationwide about the link between domestic abuse and animal cruelty.
SAAV is made possible through a collaborative partnership with Domestic Abuse Intervention Services and the Dane County Humane Society
