S.A.F.E. House Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc

Animal rescue in Westwood, NJ

We are a foster-based nonprofit animal rescue organization based in northern NJ and founded by veterinary technicians who hold the belief that every animals deserves a safe place to call home. We focus on the overlooked, special needs, and senior cats and dogs who may have otherwise been deemed “damaged.”

Our mission is to advocate for animals by providing fulfillment of their physical, mental, and emotional needs and to provide public education to improve their quality of care throughout all life stages. We aim to build a community of responsible and educated pet owners and to improve relationships between members of the animal community including veterinary professionals, pet owners and individual animal advocacy groups. Our primary focus is dogs and cats in the tri-state area, though we strive to network with groups who work with all species in order to provide resources for those in need.
