SPOTLIGHT ON 2020 WINNERS
YOU VOTED, THEY WON TOP PET SERVICES
BEST ANIMAL RESCUE AND
SHELTER
Safe and Sound Sanctuary
Safe and Sound Sanctuary provides a
safe haven for senior dogs who were
destined to be destroyed by individual
owners, rescue groups, and shelters.
Several of the dogs who have entered
this sanctuary support system over
the years are strays that were released
most likely by owners who lost their
homes during difficult financial times
or moved away; some dogs were not
adoptable in their younger years.
Most of the sanctuary’s felines are of
the stray and feral population that the
organization cares for with housing,
veterinary care and routine feeding.
