Welcome to Safe Place for Pets!  Our mission is simple: we find new homes for pets of terminally ill owners.

Safe Place

Welcome to Safe Place For Pets

Since our organization was founded by a Hospice nurse in 1996, we've helped over 500 pets become part of new, loving families - over 80 already in 2011 - in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, including Colorado Springs. Could one of those new homes be yours? Please help us save a life! You can view our current newsletter, available pets, and complete adoption forms below.

Miss Little Bits

Look at that face. Just Look at it! Ain’t it FABULOUS!  And beauty isn’t just skin deep in my case.  I am a 6 yo, spayed, long-haired Calico with green eyes and a few extra pounds. Quiet and shy at first but then playful and loving. Even to kids and other pets once I get to know them.  I also LOVE to be groomed and have tummy rubs. So start your engines and come get me!

 

Moose

“Look into my eyes. You are under my control. You are going to the phone to call Safe Place”………… I am a 12lb, neutered, 4 y.o., declawed (front), leash trained(!), indoor cat. I have had some trauma in my life with the loss of my owner and being left on my own for a bit but am getting my mojo back. Now I just need your love and devotion. Won’t it be fun going on walks together?  An exercise cat! Be the first in your neighborhood to have one.

 

Cookie

Just like the yummy treat I am named for, I am a dog of several “ingredients”. Otherwise known as a “mutt”. Research says we are the BEST.  I am spayed, 6-7 years old, 35-40 pounds, sweet, on the shy side and a lover of stuffed animals. I am not a barker but I do like to “talk”. Think You Tube! Won’t you put the smile back on my sweet face?

 

Marble  ADOPTED

I am just what you need to make the New Year bright. A calico-colored, 3 year-old, spayed Manx. You know, the cats with no tails...and that’s me. Not even a nub. But what I lack in tail I make up in personality. I am loveable, playful, friendly, and have a lot to say. Even better, I love to snuggle.  I do have claws but do not use them for evil i.e. drapes or furniture.  “Love, love me, do!”

 

Snoopy

I may have been named for that black and white Beagle that Charles Schultz made famous but I am in a class by myself. At 17 pounds I am truly a big clown…fun loving , curious and independent. I still have claws and love the great outdoors. My coat is short, I am about 8 years old and I am waiting for you. Won’t you be my Charlie Brown?

 

Pip

Here I am…just the kitty you have been looking for! Fun loving, indoor-outdoor with claws and friendly as can be.  You’ll know how sweet I am the first time you hear my fabulous purr and know that it is just for you. I am black, shorthaired and about 6-7 years old. The picture of youth! So we can love each other for a long, long time.

 

Maggie

Obviously, to see me is to want me, as I am one fetching feline if I do say so myself and, of course, I don’t! I am a 7 y.o. Torti, spayed, up on shots and fine with dogs . I am an  indoor/outdoor kind of gal and know how to use a dog door.  A bit shy at first, I warm up fast and am very affectionate.  We were made for each other, I just know it.
