MISSION - WHAT WE DO

SAFPAW has a dual mission; that of partnering with those who are homeless & those who are housed but live at or below the poverty level and their companion animals. For the animals our most critical program is our weekly Spay/Neuter transport that is free of charge to those we serve. We pick up all over Nashville, and bring each animal back fixed, completely vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, and with a bag of pet food plus the paperwork & rabies tag. We also assist with yearly vaccines plus minor veterinary care, pet food, collars & leashes plus food/water bowls. For the people we assist our main program is Perian's Place, our post-recovery house for women. Currently we house 3, however this year we are hoping to move (with financial partnership) from our current location to a larger house in the Madison area. Our current SAFPAW/Perian's Place is paid for, so your donations will allow us to sell this place and put the proceeds from the sale of our current place into a property that will help even more animals and people. SAFPAW/Perian's Place also fosters animals surrendered to us and once in our care they are fixed & vaccinated and then enter into the adoption program of one of our rescue partners. The women living at Perian's Place assist in their care along with volunteers. Women live here for up to 2 years, rent free for the first 2 months. After that rent is only $50 a month. They must either work part time or be on disability, and also work on their recovery, attend classes as they may be directed, and work towards permanent housing with our assistance. We also assist people experiencing homelessness in recovering their 3 forms of ID; State ID, Social Security Card and Birth Certificate. SAFPAW also provides camping supplies, bus passes & fast food gift cards as they are available, we also have a pet food pantry as well as offering basic pet care supplies.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Homeless Pet Owner Outreach: We provide pet care for homeless pet owners as well as pet owners housed but living in poverty. This includes spay/neuter, basic veterinary care, pet food and other necessary pet supplies. SAFPAW runs a weekly spay/neuter transport that is free of charge for those we serve, and we have for 18 years. We go to homeless camps, homeless hotels, subsidized housing (MDHA) and the streets to meet pet owners and pick their animal up early in the morning, dropping them off at our veterinary partner, Animal House, then bringing them back that early evening with their paperwork and a bag of pet food. This is one of our most sought after programs, and stays full each week. Helping animals, helping people. Our SAFPAW weekly spay/neuter & wellness transport that is free for the pet owners we serve continues to be our most sought after program. Every week we go to camps, motels, low income housing and anywhere those we serve may be staying and pick up their dog or cat, we deliver them to Animal House Veterinary Clinic (our primary vet partner) and pick them up that same evening and return them with the paperwork, tag, and a bag of pet food. The animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas and other minor veterinary issues that we may find while the animal is at the clinic. SAFPAW has opened Perian's Place, a post-recovery house for women off the streets and who have completed detox & rehab. Here they can live for up to 2 years, rent free for 2 months and then only $50 a month. They must work at least part time or be on disability. We also house foster animals that have been surrendered to SAFPAW, getting them ready to join one of our animal adoption partners, so the women care for those animals while they are in our care as part of their house duties. In addition, these 2 years are to serve as a home they are safe in, sober in, and they attend recovery classes as directed while living with us. In addition we also continue to help anyone homeless to recover their 3 forms of ID; State ID, Social Security card and Birth Certificate so that they can apply for housing. And we provide necessary supplies to people in camps & on the streets such as tents, sleeping bags, seasonal supplies, bus passes and fast food gift cards.
