Hotshot was an unclaimed stray at a local animal control. He has obvoius skin issues, and was partially blind in one eye. This little guy turned out to be the sweetest, most fun pet! Plenty of energy - he loves a leash walk or zooming around inside - and is also a snuggly lap dog. He does fine with cats, and seems to like children, though he can sometimes be reactive with other dogs. Currently he takes Apoquel for allergies, and eats soft food only. Hotshot has been at Safe Shelter for over a year. Could you be the one to give him a loving, forever home? 240 522 7416

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!
