Southern Alliance for People & Animal Welfare - Safpaw

Southern Alliance for People & Animal Welfare - Safpaw SAFPAW believes in knocking down poverty obstacles that exist for those we serve and their pets.

The Southern Alliance for People and Animal Welfare (SAFPAW) is a local non-profit serving Davidson County by working to improve the quality of life in our community for people and pets in need. SAFPAW provides pet food, supplies, and veterinary care free of charge pet owners who are homeless, or living at or below the poverty level. Our weekly Spay/Neuter Transport picks up every Thursday morning

and brings each pet back that same evening. Animals are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas & ticks and nails trimmed. In addition our weekly transport helps with basic wellness pet needs. Our homeless outreach program provides food, camping supplies, and other basic needs to those we serve. We also assist those looking to secure more permanent housing by helping with transportation, acquiring necessary IDs (such as social security card, state ID or drivers license, birth certificate, etc.), working through the application process, and everything in-between, including move-in day! SAFPAW is able to make a tremendous positive impact in the lives of people and pets throughout Davidson County, but only with the help of our generous and compassionate community. Swing by our page at Southern Alliance for People & Animal Welfare - SAFPAW and "Like" us to stay up to date on all of the amazing work being done every day. And don't forget to come check out our website too (www.safpaw.org) and consider making a donation so that we can all continue to build our community better and stronger every day!

How is it possible that Figgy Pudding does not have an adoption commitment yet? I mean he is absolutely adorable!

Figgy, his 3 brothers and their mom Poppy were found behind the Exxon in Madison. An amazing woman, Sara, not only went and found each little member of that family but she brought them to her house and fostered them for us. Poppy and 3 of her little kittens have an adoption commitment pending their spay/neuter appointment.

SAFPAW has made sure they had the veterinary care they needed and made sure to supply them with lots of healthy kitten food. Poppy was so tiny she seemed like a kitten herself. We will make sure their vetting is completed prior to adoption.

If you’ve wanted to bring a kitten into your life please text me. Figgy Pudding had a rough beginning but like his Mom and brothers he is loving life now. All that is needed now is a home for Figgy.

Our 13th Annual SAFPAW Jason Brown Christmas Toy Program is a wrap! And we are happy.

Audrey Anna came on board 2 years ago as our Christmas Toys program chair and has made such a difference…there is no way to describe the impact she has had. She is the reason we have more under the trees. The reason why “our kids” have better things under their Christmas tree. She and her husband, artist Jon Latham, are simply amazing human beings. They are my friends and I absolutely love them.

Also pictured are Bobby Arend and Jason Choate, who are with the community we adopted for all of the 13 Christmas holidays we have spent together. I love the history we have together.

Every donation goes to our programs that serve. Our Jason Brown Christmas program is one I call my present to myself. It gives me such joy. On Christmas morning we wake up and picture the faces of our kids. Jason told us that these children would not have anything under the tree if not for this program. Now there is not a way to put a holiday face on poverty, but there is a way to tell poverty that it will not keep joy away from our children and their families.

We do not take pictures of our children because SAFPAW is a secret Santa. The families “shop” for their selections after we have left. We have provided for the joy their children will have on Christmas morning and for us that is more than enough.

And you are a part of this joy. We cannot do this without your support. So when you wake up on December 25th, no matter what faith journey you walk, just know the joy of our children was made possible because you donate.

Holiday Blessings,
Laurie Green

Our SAFPAW gang of 5 are just living the good life with the best foster Sara McLeese.

Poppy and her babies Figgy Pudding, Sage, Clove and Plum are gaining weight and loving their new life.

The feeling you get when a single cat mom and her babies go from behind a dumpster at an Exxon station to a warm and safe home is indescribable. But it is the best feeling in the world.

They will be ready for adoption in late January. A new year for a new life.
