Snowflake came to us as a 4-month old kitten. She was born outside, part of a large group of cats who were cared for by a homeowner. Reportedly Snowflake stood out as one of the more social cats in the group. After her spay she stayed at Safe Shelter to be adopted. The last couple of months, she's been in a foster home, becoming even better socialized. She has now adjusted to the foster couple, an older child, their other cats, and a puppy. Snowflake loves attention. She is fully vetted. 240 522 7416 for more information.

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!
