Crate Drive for Safe Hands Rescue!
2023-05-06 - 2023-05-20 | MN
We are in desperate need of crates both in Minneapolis and down in Kentucky, so we are doing a crate drive! Please help us spread the word!

Crates can be new or used but must be in good condition, not rusted or cracked, and have a working door. We are looking for plastic crates sizes 4, 5, 6 and 7:
Size 4: 21”L x 15” W x 15”H – up to 15 lbs
Size 5: 28”L x 20.5”W x 21.5” H – 25-30 lbs
Size 6: 32”L x 22.5”W x 24” H = 30-50lbs
Size 7: 36”L x 25”W x 27” H = 50-70 lbs

We will also take large wire crates, preferably with two doors but will accept ones with one door. Preferred Sizes: 42″ long x 27″ wide and 48″ long by 29″ wide.

Please spread the word by copying and pasting this “ask” on your personal, Buy Nothing, Community, Garage Sale or Nextdoor FB pages and see if people have crates of those sizes they no longer want. We want to catch people during spring cleaning as they are cleaning out garages, basements and sheds!

If you are able to round up any crates that fit the need, we have drop off locations at our Minneapolis Headquarter, St, Paul, Champlin, Minnetonka, Apple Valley and New Brighton.
Please email Kira at donations@safehandsrescue.org for addresses. Crates should be broken down with the door nested between the top and bottom of the crate.

Please note: We do not need small cat sizes or large sizes that would fit a big Shepherd or St. Bernard and cannot use soft-sided carriers.

Thank you so much for your help, and please help spread the word!

Safe Hands Rescue Meet & Greet at Forgotten Start Brewing

Please sanitize your hands upon entry. This is to protect our adoptable unvaccinated puppies! Due to the recent canine influenza outbreak in the metro area, we are taking additional precautions. Since Forgotten Star is still allowing guests to bring their own dogs into the taproom, we just need to keep the Safe Hands pups separate. We ask that guests please do not bring their owned dogs into the meet and greet space during the event. If a guest does have their dog in the taproom, we ask that they please sanitize thoroughly before interacting with a Safe Hands pup.
