Spaz is an active, affectionate young dog. Originally a stray, he spent over a year at a county shelter before coming to Safe Shelter. So we don't know why, but he is really terrified of men, and of being led on a leash. This guy needs a dog-savvy, patient person. Spaz is beautiful, as you can see, is housetrained, and sits on command. Recently we had him neutered and heartworm tested, and he is current on vaccinations. He loves to run in the yard (one is required, to adopt him), and really like squeeky toys. Whatever happened to him in the past, we're hoping time and love can heal it. Safe Shelter adopts to a 2-hour driving distance of Artemas PA. 240 522 7416 for more information, or to schedule a meet-and-greet.

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.

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!
