Safe Harbor Animal Rescue

Dog rescue in Vermilion, OH

SHAR started out as a Shiba Inu rescue, but over time we have transitioned into an all-breed rescue. While we still love our Shibas we realized we could help so many others. We specialize in rehabilitating puppy mill releases and working with special needs dogs. Most commonly, we get cleft palate puppies, but we have taken everything from swimmer puppies to puppies with heart defects. We make a lifelong commitment to the dogs that from the time they join our care, they will receive the best care and get everything they need. Our motto is Safe. Loved. Furever.
