In our local communities, pets and people often struggle together. When a pet suffers neglect, illness, or abandonment, there’s almost always a person behind that story facing hardship, crisis, or loss. Traditional animal welfare efforts often focus on one or the other—the animal or the human—but not both.
That’s where SAFE Pet Partners steps in.
SAFE Pet Partners addresses the crisis through comprehensive, compassionate, and collaborative action. By intervening early and supporting pet guardians, we prevent animal suffering before it happens.
How do we do this? Through our Core Service Areas: Safe Housing, Behavioral Support, Community Building, and Learning Opportunities.
Safe Housing
SAFE Pet Partners recognizes that many experience barriers to safe, pet-friendly housing as well as barriers to safe and healthy containment of animals.
We address this through:
Fence building/repair, foster networks for pet animals in crisis, and collaboration with domestic violence support agencies and human sheltering agencies.

Behavioral Support
SAFE Pet Partners sees the gap between people struggling with their pets behavior and the accessibility and affordability of behavioral resources and support. We envision a future where every guardian and caregiver is equipped with the knowledge, behavioral strategies, and social supports necessary to provide lifelong, nurturing homes.
We address this through:
Low cost pet animal counseling and training, free monthly Ask-a-Trainer events, behavioral support and training for foster parents

Community Building
As a community, our efforts are much stronger and more effective when we don’t go it alone – this is at the heart of SAFE Pet Partners’ holistic vision of animal welfare. Collaborative partnerships between agencies, nonprofits, and neighbors create a web of safety that protects both people and pets from harm and produces coordinated prevention and response pathways.
We address this through:
Partnerships with rescues, transfer services, shelters, medical providers, nonprofits, and other agencies; a hotline for community support; community outreach.

Learning Opportunities
We believe that if we can build and grow our community’s awareness and understanding of humane animal care and prevention strategies, we can stop the cycle of animal neglect, surrender, and overpopulation.
We address this through:
Youth programming, community workshops, volunteer
training, disaster-preparedness education, and public events to expand awareness.
