Nsquared dba Safe Harbor

Safe Harbor is getting closer to opening its doors — and right now, every gift can go twice as far. A generous Harbor Hero has offered to match donations to Safe Harbor, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000. If we can raise the full match, it means $200,000 to help complete our first Safe Harbor campus and begin serving families. Safe Harbor was built around one simple belief: a temporary crisis should not cause the permanent loss of a beloved dog. We are creating a reunification-focused program for people facing housing instability, domestic violence, medical treatment, military deployment, and other serious but temporary hardships. We care for their dogs while they work toward safety and stability — and then we help bring them back together. This match could be transformational for us. Funds will help complete the dog suites already under construction, including insulation, windows, climate control, flooring, fencing, power and solar systems, security and monitoring, specialized dog doors, and the equipment needed to safely welcome our first dogs. It will also help establish the care and referral infrastructure needed to operate responsibly once we open. Your gift can take many forms. Through Every.org, supporters can give by credit card or bank account, and may also have options to contribute assets such as stock or cryptocurrency . For donors considering a larger gift, donating appreciated assets may be an especially meaningful way to support the campaign. Please consult your own financial or tax advisor regarding your individual circumstances. Whether your gift is $25, $2,500, $25,000, stock, crypto, or simply sharing this campaign with someone who believes in what we're building, it moves us closer to the same goal: Keeping dogs safe while their people rebuild — and getting them back where they belong. We have the opportunity to turn $100,000 of generosity into $200,000 of impact. Now we need to unlock it. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Why I am Building Safe Harbor Why I Built Safe Harbor The idea for Safe Harbor had been sitting in my desk for nearly 20 years. But one dog finally made me pull the trigger. Her owner entered treatment for addiction, and she was placed in what was supposed to be a safe boarding situation. About a month later, she came into my care significantly underweight and very sick. I spent the next couple of weeks getting her healthy again, thinking that if there was a Safe Harbor , she would have never suffered to begin with. That experience made me realize that wanting to help wasn't enough. There needed to be a safe, structured place where dogs could be cared for while their people had the time and support they needed to truly get back on their feet. So, after nearly 20 years of thinking about Safe Harbor, I finally started building it. Since then, the requests for help have only confirmed the need. I hear from domestic violence survivors, people losing their housing, and families facing other crises who are terrified that getting themselves to safety could mean losing their pets. One dog made me start building Safe Harbor. Every request since has reminded me why I can't stop.
