Noah’s Animal House believes that no person should have to decide between leaving an abuser and leaving their pet behind.
Rebels Empowher is proud to partner with them to support their efforts to support women with Diana Bennett, our founder.
Meet Chewy
Hi, I’m Chewy!
I was found alone at McCarran Airport after my mom, trapped in an abusive relationship, had no choice but to leave me behind. She couldn’t afford the flight, and it broke her heart to let me go. If she had only known about Noah’s, she wouldn’t have had to leave me. Before she left, her boyfriend kicked me in the head, leaving me with a big knot. I probably need to see a vet, but all I really want is to be back with my mom, safe and loved.

Our Why
“For over 15 years, victims have been traveling thousands of miles to Noah’s, driving past other women’s shelters in neighboring states for one reason only – their family pet needed to be a part of their fresh start.”
