Pawsafe Animal Rescue is a caring, foster-based organization that rescues dogs of all ages from high-kill shelters in the South and helps them find forever homes in the North. They do not rent kennel space but hold adoptions at local pet retail stores and by appointment from foster homes. The staff is known for being kind, helpful, and genuinely loving towards the animals, making the adoption process simple, friendly, and informative. Many adopters have traveled long distances, such as two hours, to meet the dogs at events, and consistently appreciate the positive experience, noting that staff treat them with respect and professionalism. Pawsafe has successfully helped families adopt lovable pups that bring joy and brightness to their lives, with some dogs having been in their new homes for years. Reviewers mention that Pawsafe’s team is accommodating, even during COVID restrictions, allowing family members to meet animals together. Overall, Pawsafe is praised for its dedication, compassionate staff, and the quality of animals placed in loving homes. Their website offers a way to apply for adoption, and their efforts have created many happy, lasting bonds between people and their new pets.
