Description
Our SAFPAW weekly spay/neuter & wellness transport is free for the pet owners we serve & continues to be our most sought after program. Every week we go to camps, motels, low income housing, anywhere those we serve may be staying and pick up their dog or cat, we deliver them to one of our Veterinary Partners and pick them up that same evening, returning them with the paperwork, tag, and a bag of pet food. The animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas and other minor veterinary issues that we may find while the animal is at the clinic.
SAFPAW opened SAFPAW/Perian's Place in 2016, a street recovery house for people coming off of the streets and who have completed detox & rehab. Our SAFPAW sanctuary is a healing place for people and animals. They must work at least part time or be on disability. We also house foster & house animals that have been surrendered to SAFPAW, getting them ready to join one of our rescue partners for placement.

Description
We provide pet care for homeless pet owners as well as pet owners housed but living in poverty. This includes spay/neuter, basic veterinary care, pet food and other necessary pet supplies. SAFPAW runs a weekly spay/neuter transport that is free of charge for those we serve, and we have for 18 years. We go to homeless camps, homeless hotels, subsidized housing (MDHA) and the streets to meet pet owners and pick their animal up early in the morning, dropping them off at our veterinary partner, Animal House, then bringing them back that early evening with their paperwork and a bag of pet food. This is one of our most sought after programs, and stays full each week.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our biggest challenge is educating our donors as to the scope of our mission, and the need that is not only addressed by SAFPAW, but is served so well by our programs and our approach. I would love for people to fully understand how effective we are in the field, and how many animals and people have been served by SAFPAW. Our mission is very unique, so it is not always easily understood. No one else serves animals and people in the way that we do, and while our impact is felt by those on the streets that we serve, it is not yet easily understood by those whose donations could increase the outreach ability of our organization. With the help of Giving Matters and the Community Foundation, the unique programs & mission of SAFPAW are becoming much better known. |
