For refugees, leaving behind everything they know and starting a new life can be a daunting and stressful experience. But for those who have pets, the situation can be even more challenging. Not only are refugees faced with the uncertainty of their own future, but they must also ensure the safety and well-being of their beloved animal companions. This is where Servants of the People comes in. Our mission is to serve refugees who are singled out because they want to bring their pets with them, offering transportation, lodging, and animal services that cater specifically to their needs.

The Benefits of Having Your Pet by Your Side as a Refuge

Pets are more than just animals to their owners. They are beloved companions, offering comfort and support during difficult times. For refugees, this is especially true. During a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the presence of a pet can provide a much-needed sense of stability and comfort. Pets can offer a sense of normalcy in an otherwise uncertain world, reminding refugees of the love and comfort they once knew.

In addition to emotional support, pets can also provide physical benefits. Studies have shown that pet ownership can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve overall mental and physical health. For refugees, these benefits can be especially important, helping to mitigate the effects of stress and uncertainty during a difficult time.

The Challenges of Traveling with Pets as a Refuge

While the benefits of having a pet by your side as a refuge are clear, the journey to safety can be dangerous and stressful for both refugees and their pets. Finding transportation that is willing to accommodate pets can be difficult, and even when transportation is secured, the conditions may not be ideal for animals. Pets may be forced to travel in crowded, uncomfortable conditions for extended periods of time, putting their health and well-being at risk.

Once a refuge arrives at their destination, finding pet-friendly lodging can also be a challenge. Not all facilities are equipped to accommodate pets, and those that do may have restrictions or limitations that make it difficult for refugees and their pets to stay together. And even when lodging is secured, the conditions may not be ideal for pets, putting their health and well-being at further risk.
