Meet Kiley
Sweet Kiley is about 4 months old (approx DOB 07/01/2024), best guess, no guarantee is that Kiley is a Huskey/Shepherd/maybe Aussie??? - we expect her to be a medium size adult dog.
Her start in life has not been fair, dumped on a dirt road and taken in by wonderful humans. But the resident cats wanted nothing to do with her. So she lived in an outdoor kennel until SAL stepped up and took her in.
She is very sweet in nature, always looking to please her humans. A submissive pack member and loves to romp in the yard with her foster siblings. Crates quietly at night and sleeps until you get up. Loves a toy and some free time in the sun to play with it.
Upon rescue into SAL, Kiley fully expected to have to sleep outside again in her new situation :( No more sweet girl. She is adjusting well, the indoor life is just still a bit unfamiliar to her, but her foster family is showing her what being part of the family is all about. She is responding to quiet, happy, gentle encouragement and making progress. Kiley will need a family that is patient with her and will continue to build her confidence.
We also think Kiley would do best with another balanced canine housemate. We, therefore, are seeking a forever home for her in which there is a canine family member.
Kiley is spayed, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea preventative, and will be microchipped.

Thank you for your interest.

The adoption process will begin with an extensive adoption application, accessible on our website. In addition to a series of questions (e.g., to ascertain the adopter's likes/dislikes, lifestyle, and general suitability), the application will require, among other things, a veterinary reference and two personal (non-family member) references. In lieu of a veterinary references, we will require 3 personal references. We will also require submission of digital photos of home and yard, as well as a home visit. Approved adopters will be required to take their pup or dog to the vet within 7 days of adoption. Each animal adopted from Safe At Last will go home with a medical booklet, complete with all details of vetting done prior to adoption, with explicit instructions as to the follow up required. All animals will be UTD with all age appropriate shots prior to adoption, and barring any health reasons that would preclude it, they will be placed on topical protection for fleas/ticks, and based on age, also started on heartworm preventative (or provided with the first dose). Any animals older than 4 months will be spayed/neutered before adoptions. For animals under 4 months old, the adoption contract will require spay/neuter by the time the animal is 6 months of age. We will require proof of same and will assign one of our members to have the task of following up on proof of spay and neuter. Under the contract, the adoptive family will not "own" the animal until we have received proof of spay and neuter. Failure to have the surgery performed will allow us, under the contract, to reclaim the pet.

More about this rescue
Safe At Last Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer not-for-profit group dedicated to saving the lives of shelter animals. Every day, staggering numbers of wonderful animals are discarded in shelters across the country. Irresponsible pet ownership -- be it, the failure to spay/neuter or follow through on one's commitment -- results in a tragic loss of life. We, at Safe At Last, feel these animals need a voice.
It is Safe At Last's mission to help ease the suffering, as well as stop it at its source. We do this by taking animals into our organization from shelters across the country, fostering them in our homes, providing them proper veterinary care, and then matching them with wonderful forever homes.
Further, to help assist with the financial plight in many of the shelters, we send the bulk of our adoptions fees back to the shelters. We also do fundraisers to raise much needed monies for the shelters, many of which are barely able to keep their doors open. These funds assist the shelters in buying the basics (food & medicines) for the continuing influx of animals. These monies also allow the shelters to provide more advanced medical care (e.g., heartworm treatment, special surgeries), thus increasing the likelihood that these animals will be able to get to rescue.
Safe At Last is also working directly with shelters to assist in facilitating adoptions directly from those facilities. This not only gets more animals out of the shelters and into forever homes, but also provides much-needed financial support.
Finally, Safe At Last is dedicated to education (both online and event-related). Educational efforts are multi-dimensional. We educate relative to stopping the overpopulation problem at its source, by emphasizing the need to spay and neuter. We also educate to increase awareness regarding animals already in need, stressing adoption via rescue rather than pet shops or breeders. Finally, we educate regarding responsible pet ownership and general "pet-related" matters.
At Safe at Last, we remain committed to saving shelter pets, one life at a time.
