{NAME}, help dogs like Jake find Freedom from domestic abuse.

Trigger warning: this email contains themes of domestic abuse. View an [online version of this email]( [Rehoming]( [Sponsor]( [Donate]( Dear {NAME}, From broken bones to emaciation, dogs like *Jake are experiencing domestic abuse. They are often used as tools by the abuser to stop their owner from leaving. Jake was punched, thrown against hard surfaces, hit with wood, and even denied food by the perpetrator. Threats were made to kill Jake or abandon him to the street if his owner *Annika left. Sadly, most refuges for those fleeing domestic abuse do not accept pets. This means owners, like Annika, cannot leave for fear of what might happen to their beloved canine companion. Will you give a gift today to help open the door to safety for more dogs like Jake? [Donate £10 today]( Freedom service With your support, Dogs Trust Freedom service can help more dogs and their owners escape danger. The Freedom service can continue expanding its network of volunteer foster carers, so dogs like Jake have somewhere safe and confidential to stay temporarily while their owner seeks refuge. Your gift ensures our foster carers have everything a dog like Jake needs to feel safe and healthy while in foster care. From comfy beds and fun toys to vital veterinary treatment and behavioural training. [Donate today]( Jake's journey Jake had lost weight and became really nervous. He wasn’t the same dog he used to be and would often physically shake. But whenever Annika tried to leave, the abuse got worse for them both. “I was told to leave but I couldn’t without Jake. I wasn’t going to leave without him.” Thankfully Jake’s owner Annika heard about our Freedom service. Your support meant we could find Jake safe and temporary care while his owner Annika sought refuge before the worst happened. With the necessary behaviour and support, Jake was able to start overcoming his trauma. He was given the vital veterinary treatment he needed. After a few months, it was time for Jake and Annika to be safely reunited with his owner. Jake and Annika are just two companions we’ve been able to help find freedom. But the need for our Freedom service continues to grow, and so do our costs. We simply can’t continue to be there for dogs and their owners who need to flee domestic abuse without your support. So, if you can, please give a gift today to help open the door to safety for more dogs like Jake and their owners find Freedom. [Donate today]( Thank you. P.S.
