Hello! SAFER is an organization dedicated to supporting the health and safety of horses and their owners. Serving Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties, SAFER offers care and relocation services for horses in need, with a focus on displaced and auctioned horses. Their efforts help reintegrate these animals into Horse Communities where they can receive the proper attention and care they deserve.

SAFER believes in building compassionate, responsible relationships between people and their horses. Without a permanent facility, SAFER relies on a network of foster families throughout Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties to provide temporary care for horses. This system ensures that no horse is left behind while a more permanent home is found.

In addition to rehoming horses, SAFER provides essential emergency consultations for horse owners, advising them on critical decisions for their horses' safety. The organization also maintains an emergency alert system, helping Horse Communities stay informed about important welfare issues, fostering a proactive and well-connected support network.

Partnering with local feed stores, SAFER gives Horse Communities access to necessary resources for the care of displaced horses. These partnerships ensure that horses and owners alike receive the support they need. Together, SAFER and the broader community work to build a reliable safety net for horses, showing a collective commitment to responsible and humane horse care.
