Three local service agencies, KC Pet Project, Rose Brooks Center, and Synergy Services, have come together to create another access point for survivors to get help when there is a co-occurrence of pet abuse and domestic violence. LINC, which stands for “listen, identify, need, connect,” was formed to train Animal Services Division how to screen for domestic violence when dispatched on an animal abuse, neglect, or bite case.

The questions are designed to assess the level of danger in the home for both the pet and the pet owner.
