Jack ended up at an animal control when his family was evicted. Sadly, his people were unable to reclaim him. A shelter employees reached out to us, asking if we could pull him as he was a special favorite of hers. This dog is the sweetest. He lives being with people, and will shake a toy and do a happy dance when you approach. He seems to be in pretty good health, except that he does have impaired vision and will sometimes bump into things if not supervised. Jack is housetrained and has lived either a puppy. He tested well with a cat here. We've had him vaccinated, heartworm tested, and neutered. 240 522 7416 for information about adopting.

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 $100, for a cat, $40. 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
I generally will bring a cat to the person for a meet-and-greet. Dog applicants come here, to the rescue, to meet.

More about this shelter
Safe Shelter has been up and running for 22 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!
