Pet Protection Program

The Pet Protection Program was developed to remove a barrier for victims of domestic violence entering the Women’s Crisis Center Shelter. This program provides immediate safety for the often over looked member of a family fleeing abuse. Pets are often abused, neglected or abandoned by the abusive partner. This fear will often trap a family in an unsafe home for longer than necessary. Through the Pet Protection Program, pets are cared for in a safe environment and receive updated vaccinations. Other health needs are addressed including spaying/neutering if requested by the owner. When the family leaves the Women’s Crisis Center shelter the pets are returned. Pet Packs are provided that include the basic needs of each pet. All services are free.

WCC was recently awarded a RedRover® Relief Safe Housing grant, enabling the Maysville KY shelter to build on-site housing and green space for pets of domestic violence victims. The kennel, to be called Barking Tales Resort, will serve all Women’s Crisis Center shelters.  (CLICK HERE for more details)

Welcome to Women’s Crisis Center

In Northern Kentucky, Women’s Crisis Center’s roots run deep. Established in 1976 as the Rape Crisis Center of Northern Kentucky, Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) was formed to provide a 24-hour crisis hotline, crisis intervention, advocacy, community education, counseling and support services for rape survivors. In 1979, our name changed to reflect additional services being provided to battered women and their children. In WCC’s early days, women and children were sheltered in private homes within the community.
