Founders Story
Supporting Animals in Family Emergencies (SAFE) was founded in 2025 by 15-year-old Blake Rothermel while working at his family’s dog kennel. Through his work, Blake saw firsthand how challenging it could be for families to cover pet boarding costs during unexpected crises like medical emergencies. He believed no one should have to worry about their pet’s care and safety during such difficult times. SAFE was created to offer financial assistance for boarding, helping families focus on what matters most while knowing their pets are in good hands.
Mission
Dedicated to supporting families in crisis by providing financial support for pet boarding costs. We believe that no family should have to choose between their safety and the well-being of their animal companions. Our mission is to ensure that every pet receives the love and care they deserve during difficult times, allowing families to focus on rebuilding their lives. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of both humans and animals, creating a community of compassion and support.
