Virtual Fur Ball Silent Auction

The 3rd Annual Fur Ball has gone virtual! Safe Hands Rescue invites you to participate in the Virtual Fur Ball Silent Auction for a most exciting and worthwhile cause.

During this difficult year, both of our largest fundraisers have to be cancelled, placing our life saving work in jeopardy.
These homeless animals need your help more than ever!

GIVE TO THE MAX DAY - 11/19/2020
2020-11-19 | MN
Give to the Max Day 2020 is scheduled for Thursday, November 19! Plan to join GiveMN and Safe Hands Rescue as we fundraise together for an organization that makes our communities stronger.
Together we bring hope. Together we give second chances. Together we can save lives.
Our mission is to save and improve the lives of companion animals.
Homeless animals need help, maybe now more than ever. With Covid continuing to impact people, more and more animals are being abandoned in our partner communities. They all deserve a chance to find comfort, care, and happiness with a loving family of their own. We remain committed to helping them.
Meet Maeve.

Maeve’s owner died and she was left with no one to care for her. She was put outside on a chain. Occasionally someone stopped by to feed her. Her foot became tangled in the chain but no one noticed. She endured excruciating pain as her foot swelled and the metal bit into her flesh.
Finally and fortunately, someone did notice. They contacted our partner shelter who immediately called us. Maeve needed help fast. Her foot was gone and the wound was infected. Her leg needed to be amputated to save her life.
Thanks to the generosity of animal lovers like you, we were able to immediately get her to a veterinary clinic. She had surgery and is recovering well! Soon she will be ready to find a new family and home of her own. Until then, she’ll get all she needs.
Stories like these are what YOU make possible with your gift today.

2021 Virtual Fur Ball Gala
2021-05-10 - 2021-05-22 | Virtual
For the second year in a row, our Fur Ball Gala is going virtual! Homeless animals need your support now more than ever. COVID-19 has already hurt so many companion animals across the country and more and more pets are being forced into homelessness. They won’t survive without your help.
This year we have a goal of raising $100,000 for The Safe House, our Kentucky property that you can read more about here. Specifically, we need to turn the existing barn into an animal holding ward where dogs can receive proper care and reside in a safe, clean environment until they make the journey up north.
With a completed animal holding ward Safe Hands will be able to accept animals right away…no waiting. Often just a few hours can mean the difference between life and death for dogs and cats who are hungry, thirsty, ill or injured, or sometimes hours from giving birth or just newborn.
$100,000 is what it will cost us to create a safe space to care for animals before they make the trip up north. We can nourish their bodies and souls until they’re brought into the arms of their loving foster and forever families.

The Mine Dogs, 1 Year Later - Fur Ball Event
2021-05-18 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
This family of dogs, dubbed ‘The Mine Dogs’ were living at an abandoned mine. They were hungry, worried and weary from the struggle to survive. We knew they needed help. Their rescue is a story of fortitude, perseverance, of overcoming the odds and bridging time and distance.
Yellow Boy came home first, He was home with our Executive Director from the moment he was rescued. Jack, Martin, and Lexie were captured a few months later. They’d been together so long, their bond so strong, we needed to keep them together. They were all adopted by a truly amazing couple. And finally…after a year alone on the mountain… Henry came home. Reunited with Yellow Boy, he’s home to stay. You’ll get an update from them all live on our Facebook page!

Alfie & His Forever Family - Fur Ball Event
2021-05-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
You may remember Alfie from last summer. He survived parvo but still arrived to us malnourished, weak, and very sick. He was born as part of an unwanted litter and did not receive the care he needed as a pup. He’d also suffered an injury that left him missing one eye. That’s a really rough start for a tiny 4 pound pup!
Alfie was in need of urgent critical medical care. He was hospitalized and fighting for his life. But, this little guy has a remarkable spirit. He received several blood transfusions and after a week that was touch and go…he was able to leave the hospital!
Soon he was learning to play, showing off his sweet, goofy personality, and singing beautiful songs to let foster mom know what he wanted. Most often that was a snuggle! Alfie is now happy, healthy and home! Tune in on our Facebook page to hear live about where he is now (spoiler alert: he’s so grown up!!).
