About this shelter

Island Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary, Inc in Port Clinton, OH

Island Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary, Inc is an animal shelter located in Port Clinton, Ohio, about 35 miles west of Toledo. It is open Monday through Saturday from 12:00 to 4:00 PM. The sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded on June 3, 2011 by Nancy R. Benevento-Brown, dedicated to rescuing dogs that have been forgotten by everyone else—the sick, the disabled, the elderly, and the misunderstood. It operates as a 24/7/365 sanctuary focused on wiping out the mindset that animals are disposable, providing lifelong care and medication to its dogs and connecting them with adoptive families through its Happy Tails program.
