My story

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

Colonel was picked up as a stray and taken to a county shelter. His owner was located, but chose not to reclaim him. The shelter went code red, this old guy was at the top of the list, and he ended up at Safe Shelter. he is a gentleman; housetrained, friendly, and seems to be okay with other dogs. Estimated at 10 years old, we"ve had him vaccinated, heartworm tested, and neutered. Colonel is a big guy, with a big heart. He needs a family that will love him loyally. 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!
