Safe Hands Rescue

This summer, let's work together to provide life-saving care to more dogs and cats than ever!

The dog days of summer are upon us. And that means sweltering and unbearable conditions for too many stray dogs. Animals arrive starving, dehydrated and in heat distress. Our air-conditioned building is a needed respite for them to recover, but it comes at a cost. Utility bills spike, as does the need for critical care supplies, puppy and kitten milk replacements, medications…the list goes on. Over 1,500 animals will rely on us for life-saving care this year.

With your gift today, you help more dogs like August. 

 

Last summer August was a stray.  People had tried to save him for months, but he was too scared and wouldn't allow anyone close. During this time he was hit by a car and was shot through the leg. Unable to find food, he was wasting away. Finally, weak and exhausted, he allowed someone to help him. She brought him to one of our partner shelters, who asked us for help. August is the perfect example of just the kind of dog Safe Hands is here to help – he needed specialized nutrition and critical care beyond what most shelters can provide. He weighed just over half his healthy weight. August needed time to heal and recover. He was given a long course of antibiotics and fed small, frequent meals to avoid refeeding syndrome. Thanks to animal lovers like you, Safe Hands was there with everything August needed to recover, survive–and thrive!

This is what your gift today can do for so many more dogs like August. Your gift is the extra love and care they need to survive; it’s the hope for a family who will treasure them for the rest of their days. Make a difference for more dogs like August – give a gift to Safe Hands today!
