Anti-Cruelty has concluded the Short-Term Accommodations for Emergencies (SAFE) program. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported this initiative and to the community members who entrusted us with the care of their pets during times of crisis.
We understand that finding temporary housing for pets during emergencies can be a real challenge for many in our community. Here are additional resources to aid you in finding a safe place for your pet.
