Safe Hands Rescue

"Safe Hands Rescue provides a safe landing place to animals that have struggled. The animals in their care are carefully evaluated so they will find their way into well-matched, permanent homes, and they're willing to take innovative approaches to meet that goal. I have been particularly impressed with their support of undersocialized aniimals and have built a foster team that understands their needs. They provide training resources readily to their volunteers and to adoptive homes, and this ensures that, time after time, the adopted animals end up adapting to their new homes well. Both the animals and the caretakers are well supported. Although many of the animals that find their way into Safe Hands Rescue have struggled against enormous odds to get into rescue, and it's heartening to see that the support continues even after they arrive in their permanent home. These animals are being set up for success."

"Safe Hands Rescue has made a huge difference in my life. After being forced to work from home during the pandemic, fostering gave me purpose and something to look forward to while I isolated at home. That was four years ago, and fostering brings me so much joy. I need to foster to help make a difference for the sweet puppies that otherwise would not be alive today. Our organization has boots on the ground in a very economically depressed area in Kentucky. That area of the country, does not treat animals the way we do in Minnesota. Pets in Minnesota are our family members. Our rescue gives animals a chance at an awesome life. We are always in need of more resources to make future improvements to the rescue."
