It's Golden Ticket Time! Together, saving lives is what we do! Pictured are the lucky kids who arrived nearly two weeks ago into Safe Hands, thanks to the kind humans named under each photo. That could be you!
So many more really deserving kids hope to be on the transport this weekend! To board the van on Friday, they need a Golden Ticket and a Foster Home. There are so, so, so many waiting for their chance to board the van. Please help if you can. We have been recruiting for foster homes all week and we still need more, but now it's time to focus on Golden Tickets for them.
Each Golden Ticket helps cover the cost of transportation from Kentucky to Minnesota, vet exams, vaccinations, and health certificates. In return, we send you a photo of the homeless pet you sponsored, and a Golden Ticket certificate, proving that you are amazing! We also let everybody know here on Facebook, and on our website. The new kids need Golden Tickets and foster homes every transport throughout the year. That means every other week, sometimes more often!

💚💛🩵Foster Homes Needed – Twin Cities Area💚💛🩵
Our team in Kentucky has been busy providing safe haven for abandon pups and those coming from overcrowded shelters. Many of these kids come from our newest shelter partner who was full and facing euthanasia. Every animal we take from that shelter truly saves a life. When you say yes to these kids you allow another dog to get the same second chance. Your help is needed now because so many animals are counting on us.
If you have room in your home and heart please say yes to a dog or pup's today! If you have vacations coming up we will work to find foster sitters to get you covered.
These precious pups are ready to begin their next — and best — chapter with families to call their own.
Will you say YES and help them board the van Friday?
If you can foster, they truly need you right now. I promise, whatever you can provide is better than where they are currently — and remember, fostering is temporary.
We provide • Food • Collar & leash • Crate • Some toys • All medical care
You provide • A little space in your home • Love and patience • A bit of time to help them find their forever family
And here’s the best part — foster families get the first opportunity to adopt their foster pup!
The puppies pictured are looking for a safe, temporary place to land in the Twin Cities area while they search for their forever homes. If we can secure enough foster families, they will arrive Saturday afternoon.
📣Please spread the word! If you know someone who might be willing to give fostering a try, let them know. Every share could change a life.
Thank you for reading — and for fostering when you can.
