Save A Forgotten Equine

SAFE's Mission

To rescue, rehabilitate, and retrain horses facing neglect or abuse and provide them with the best opportunity for a permanent home and a lifetime of safety.

About SAFE

Since 2005, Save a Forgotten Equine (SAFE) has been rescuing and rehabilitating horses suffering from abuse, neglect, or starvation. We provide our horses with routine and emergency vet care, farrier care, dental care, and training, and once they are fully recovered, we find them new adoptive homes through a rigorous screening process. We work in partnership with Animal Control agencies in King County and beyond, and we also help horse owners struggling to care for their animals in the current economy. 

Despite our years of success helping horses in the local area, SAFE remains a small, modest organization that operates on a shoestring budget and works hard to make every penny count. We rely on public donations to pay the majority of our operating expenses. The funds we raise are used to feed, house, care for and train our horses…essentially paying for everything needed to ensure them a safe and productive future. We have minimal management expenses, and only five paid full time employees. The heart of SAFE is our volunteers — from our Board of Directors to the more than 150 volunteers who handle the day to day care of the horses — an incredible group of people who believe in SAFE’s mission and give the best of their talents and energy to make it succeed.

For GiveBIG this year, SAFE invites you to help your favorite Western Washington horse rescue raise needed funds to help unforgettable horses. Early giving for GiveBIG has started! Please consider a donation to SAFE and help us save a horse's life.
