About Safe Place for Pets (Safe Place, Inc.)
Safe Place for Pets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pet placement organization that provides care, support and rehoming services for pets of terminally ill people, with a multi-decade history of service in the Colorado Springs area.
The organization emphasizes veterinary wellness for every intake (exam, vaccinations, spay/neuter and recommended dental or medical treatment) and operates through a largely volunteer-driven foster and adoption network to place animals in permanent homes.
In recent years the charity has expanded capacity and operations (including a relocation to a new facility) and reports continued program impact—having rehomed well over a thousand pets since founding; recent public filings show increased revenues and assets in 2022–2023 alongside continued placement activity.
