Alexandra House is a non-profit located in Blaine that provides domestic, sexual and relationship violence services to women, men, youth and families across the state of Minnesota. It is the only 24 hour emergency shelter in Anoka County. 65% of domestic violence survivors have a pet and nearly half of the victims stay in abusive situations rather than leave their pet behind. Many abusers threaten to injure or kill a pet as a means of control. As of January 13, Alexandra House opened Linus’ Pet Haven as part of the services they offer. They can now house up to 6 pets with indoor and outdoor spaces. As this new program expands, their need for support will be both immediate and ongoing.
