"Threats against a pet’s life cause about half of domestic violence survivors to delay leaving their abusive environment."

Our Mission

Two at a Time is dedicated to addressing the link between domestic violence and animal cruelty. Our mission is to offer services and safe places to pets of those fleeing domestic violence in King County until reunification is possible.

We're Back!

We are happy to announce that, with the reopening of our community post-pandemic, we are finally able to begin the process of rebooting our program. Like so many other businesses and nonprofit organizations, the pandemic caused a huge setback for us on many fronts including financial and, as important, access to our support network – especially veterinarians. Our road to recovery is looking fantastic right now!  Our passionate and dedicated team has doubled along with our network of support partners. We ask your patience while we get back on our feet so that we can implement our program and begin the work of providing care and safety for the pets of those fleeing domestic violence soon.
