This week Michelle Fern is joined by Matt Krentz, Andy Bond and Zoë Agnew-Svoboda from BestyBnb. BestyBnB provides a platform for Domestic Violence Agencies to search and select from a list of loving, qualified, and vetted pet caregiver households who desire to foster the pets of abuse victims. With 95% of agencies not having the resources to house pets, BestyBnB is removing one of the largest barriers faced by Agencies today. Before BestyBnB, abuse victims had to decide between their children’s safety and that of their pets. It shouldn't be a choice. And it no longer is.
