Healing Hearts

Safe in Austin’s mission is all about saving animals that come from abuse, neglect, or who have some sort of special needs, and introducing them to children that share the same kind of stories! Our nonprofit was inspired by the healing relationship between our son Jackson and his service dog Angel. Their miraculous relationship showed us the magic that is possible between animals and children (especially extra needs animals and children) and the healing power of unconditional friendship. Every single visit is different and every child’s story is different. If your family, special needs class, or extra needs group is in need of a healing space where you can meet and love on some rescue animals, please take a moment to email us at info@safeinaustin.org.

It was put on our hearts from the very beginning that everyone in need of healing and friendship deserves it, sand love doesn't cost a thing. We never charge a fee for our Healing Hearts visits. We always appreciate any and all donations to help us care for the animals, but everyone deserves love regardless of whether they can afford it or not.

Public Days

Bring the whole family out to Safe in Austin on our public days! Get a chance to tour the property, meet the rescue dogs, hug on some turkeys, play with the chickens, snuggle with the kittens and puppies, run around with the goats, love on the blind ponies, and discover friendship and love beyond what you have imagined!! You can hike up to the top for a breathtaking hill country view, take lots of pictures, and support our mission of "saving lives and healing hearts"! Come be a part of the fun! We can't wait to meet you!

A suggested $25 donation per family can be made to our Paypal or Venmo (safeinaustin@gmail.com) account for our public day events or we accept cash or check on event day. If you are unable to make the donation at this time, please contact us at info@safeinaustin.org. We will never turn away the chance to share love and kindness because money is tight. We completely understand! ♥

Public days are usually scheduled only a couple of weeks to a few days ahead of time due to weather and needing to have a lot of volunteers available to help. Check our Facebook events page for any upcoming dates posted!
