UPDATE: Brielle has been adopted! ❤️

Are you looking to add a lively, loving companion to your family? 🐾Meet Brielle, our adorable female toy poodle mix🐩, born around February 2025, who is waiting for her perfect match! She arrived at FSPCA in October 2025 as a transfer from another facility, and we couldn’t be more excited to help her find a wonderful forever home.
This petite girl weighs in at just around 10 pounds, making her the perfect size for cuddles and companionship. Despite having experienced a leg injury in her past, she has healed, and nothing slows her down! She’s playful, energetic, and always on the go!
Brielle has high puppy energy and would thrive in a family willing and able to keep up with her enthusiasm. She’s a quick learner and will benefit from continued training to help her reach her full potential. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or learning new tricks, she’s eager for any activity that lets her bond with her people. She’s very social and loves making friends, both canine and feline!
If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, spirited little girl into your life, come meet Brielle any day, except Wednesdays, from 12-4:00. Let’s help this lovable girl start her next chapter surrounded by love and happiness! ❤️

Friends, poor little Diamond had to go to the vet on Friday. She was drinking and peeing waaaaaay too much and we wanted to get her checked out. Turns out her kidney levels are very elevated. They aren’t sure why yet. They took blood and hopefully will have some more answers soon. For now, she’s being treated for Lepto, although she’s had no other symptoms. More to follow. For now, if anyone would like to help pay some of her vet bill, I’ll put our payment options in the comments. Our vet info is on the invoice pictured below, if you’d like to call and make a direct payment.
Thank you all! More info as we get it…
❤️🙏

The Safehouse is a big Swiftie space, and seeing that NATO put a K9, heroes, and a Swiftie song together, we had to share it here!

Our old goat, Faye, is a well-loved member of our family. She had a sister who passed away awhile ago, and since then she’s been very clingy and lonely. She spends a lot of time with our horse and steer but they’re really much more active than she is, and she can’t keep up. We are looking for an old goat friend to lounge around with her. If anyone has an old goat they don’t want anymore, we’d love to give it a home. Preferably a large breed goat as we don’t have a guardian dog and coyotes are a concern for the dwarf breeds. Our wacky herd has a run-in shed close to our house and the run of our neighbor’s field which is about 6 acres. They’ve got life pretty good here! Message me if you have a goat that would enjoy life with Faye!
