They’re Not Done Yet. Neither Are We

A New Way To Love Your Pet

At Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary your animal lives with us — fully cared for, trained, and loved every single day. You visit on your scheduled 3-hour block and build a real bond over time. All food, veterinary care, grooming, training and after-life costs are included. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just the pure joy of having an animal in your life. Contact us to learn more about our membership program. Ask us about our volunteer program — especially for seniors. Seniors aren't done yet either and their presence means everything to these animals.

Where It All Began

Every animal you see on this channel and at Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary has a story. This is where ours began — at a shelter, with a dog who was running out of time, and a couple who refused to look away."

Help Save a Life Today

Every dollar you give goes directly to feeding, caring for and training the animals rescued from euthanasia lists by the Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary.

Who We Are

The Forever Family Project was born from a simple but powerful belief — that no animal should lose their life simply because there wasn't enough space or time. We rescue dogs and cats from euthanasia lists, train them to be their best selves, and offer a first of its kind adoption model that lets you love your pet without taking them home.

We are Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary — a place where every animal gets a second chance, every family gets a new member, and every life gets to finish its story.

Founded in Chico, California by Berney and Nickie Lincoln, The Forever Family Project is changing the way America thinks about animal sheltering — one rescued life at a time.

Whether you want to adopt, donate, volunteer, or simply learn more about Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary — we'd love to hear from you. Reach out and we'll be in touch shortly.
