Founded 30 years ago by a group of hospice nurses, Safe Place for Pets helps people facing terminal illness find homes for their pets. Not knowing what is going to happen to your best four-legged friend after you are gone is an incredible burden for people and their families. And for a pet who is leaving the only home they have ever known, having a caring team to tend to your physical and emotional needs is critical.
Each year, the army of volunteers at Safe Place give people peace of mind during challenging times, while also giving a smooth transition for a pet who must adjust to losing their human AND their home. Nearly 60 dogs and cats were placed into new loving homes last year which makes a huge difference for people and pets in our community.
For 30 years, Safe Place for Pets has served people and pets across El Paso and Teller Counties and beyond. With skyrocketing rental costs, the charity is beginning the process to find and purchase a permanent home in Colorado Springs. We need the help of many caring friends and donors!
As many as 60 dogs and cats will find a home through Safe Place this year. That’s a big help to families in crisis . . . and to pets leaving the only home they have ever known!
“It is great to know Safe Place can help care for our loved ones in a time of need. The volunteers are so caring, It truly is a family.” — Corrie
