How you can help
Safe Harbor Animal Rescue is a nonprofit organization with a mission to rescue dogs from shelters, puppy mills, and surrenders. They're dedicated to giving dogs a second chance for a happy life.
As many of you know, our mother was an animal lover and actively lived her life helping animals. She would often take in strays, feed neighborhood cats, and donate to local animal charities. She participated in several fundraisers for Safe Harbor Animal Rescue.
Our mother most recently adopted BellaMia from Safe Harbor Animal Rescue. She was absolutely smitten by Mia. Mia brought our mother so much happiness and comfort. Especially during her illness.
The donations will help the animals get the medical attention they deserve, food, and preventative flea and tick care. Donations help the rescue continue its amazing work and provide the pups their fur-ever home. Contribute to Safe Harbor Animal Rescue
