Thank You, Thornton Place!

Trailer Loading Artie
Artie Shaw has overcome many hurdles during his time at SAFE, but perhaps one of the most challenging items for him has been trailer loading — particularly with standing in a trailer with a divider. He could ride stock just fine, but to have a divider shut on him, or…
Tulip is Adopted!

Heidi’s adopter, Kristina, posted an update on October 10th: Heidi was rescued by safe in 2007. We’ll be celebrating 18 years together this November. She always cracks me up because she pretends to be independent and acts like she doesn’t want attention, but as soon…
