A specific need at a difficult time
Safe Place for Pets works with terminally ill people who need help with their animals in Colorado’s El Paso and Teller counties. Its mission connects support for the owner with care and rehoming for the pet. The starting point is a family facing illness, with decisions about a companion’s future carrying particular emotional weight.
Keeping the relationship for as long as possible
The organisation says it aims to keep pets with their owners for as long as possible while maintaining the animal’s quality of life. It emphasises clear, compassionate communication about decisions made on the pet’s behalf. This allows planning to include the owner’s wishes and circumstances, rather than treating every referral as an immediate permanent transfer.
Care after an animal is entrusted
Once an animal enters its care, Safe Place provides daily attention, food, shelter, grooming and veterinary support while seeking a new home. Its stated values recognise that pets also experience the loss of familiar people. Care therefore involves the animal’s adjustment as well as the practical tasks of feeding and finding an adopter.
Veterinary preparation includes oral health
The organisation describes a veterinary examination, current vaccinations and sterilisation for pets in its programme. It also includes a comprehensive oral-health assessment, with treatment when recommended by a veterinarian. This attention to dental needs is a concrete part of preparing an animal for the next household, alongside information about ongoing care.
Discussing whether the programme fits
Safe Place works with volunteers and other nonprofits to meet the needs of clients in its two-county area. When a situation falls outside its mission, it offers referrals and guidance where appropriate. Contact the team to discuss the owner’s circumstances and the pet’s needs; programme support, adoption and volunteering are different ways of engaging with this specialised service.
