About Us

Safe Place cares for pets when a terminally ill owner no longer can. Safe Place was incorporated in 1996 as a 501(c)(3) charity and serves people and pets living in El Paso and Teller counties.

Safe Place ensures that animals find loving homes. We require all adoptive families to complete a questionnaire, spend time with the animal, and allow a Safe Place evaluator to perform a home safety assessment. If for any reason an adoptive family is unable to continue providing care for an animal, Safe Place will find another home for their pet.

All Safe Place animals receive a medical and behavioral evaluation before adoption. All vaccinations are up to date and pets are neutered or spayed before placement.

We are committed to finding loving homes for animals in our care, but we can not accept an animal that we will be unable to place. This includes animals who are medically fragile or aggressive.

Please support our mission, and feel good knowing that 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to animal care and placement!  Click Here!
