My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A sweetheart! Arla was found as a stray, near state forest land, and was not claimed. She was initially pretty shy, although she actually seems to prefer children, and she's come a long way in the short time she's been here. This active girl would love a yard to run in. She loves being petted and talked to. Arla does still need some work on a leash, and with housetraining. Spayed, current on vaccinations, has been heartworm etc. tested (negative), and been started on heartworm preventative. 240 522 7416.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters physically meet the animal, and me. The person or couple is interviewed in person, a vet reference is checked (if possible), and I visit the home, tour inside and outside, ask any additional questions necessary, meet any live-in family members yet unmet, and sleep on my final decision. The next day I will call with a decision - either way. The adoption fee for a dog is $50, for a cat, $30. The adoption contract includes a takeback policy - in effect for the entire life of the animal- and the right to visit, with notice, and to raclaim the animal in the case of neglect or abuse.

Go meet their pets

We have just started occationally showing animals at Tractor Supply in Lavale MD. The big fundraiser each year is a yard sale in Flintstone and if I have enough volunteers I try to bring some of the shelter animals to show.

More about this shelter

Safe Shelter has been up and running for 16 years. I worked for a year at a large, long-running, widely respected no-kill shelter and this inspired me to try it myself. It is a small, low-budget operation that could really use some volunteer and foster help!
