Safe Harbor Lab Rescue is a local non-profit that rescues homeless labs and lab mixes and places them in forever homes.  They are run 100% by volunteers so ALL donations go to provide basic care like vaccinations, spays and neuters and more specialized care like complex surgeries.  City Bark strongly supports this organization and has been a foster home for Safe Harbor since City Bark first opened 6 years ago.  For more information on this great organization visit their website at www.safeharborlabrescue.org.
