SAFE HARBOR ANIMAL SANCTUARY and HOSPITAL

Are you looking for a special furry friend to fill your heart with unconditional love and companionship? Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary and Hospital, located in the Jupiter/Tequesta area, was founded in 1985.   It was Florida’s second humane organization to open a low coast spay/neuter hospital.  Safe Harbor does not believe in euthanasia as answer to dealing with the pet overpopulation crisis.  They offer low cost spay/neuter services and medical assistance for pet owners who are in need.  The sanctuary has sterilized over 75,000 animals in the past 25 years, preventing hundreds of thousands of puppies and kittens from being born and thousands from being destroyed.  

Safe Harbor is a no-kill shelter.  They reserve space for animals that have been abused,…

Miami Heat Just One Win Away From Third Championship in Franchise History

When the fourth quarter started last night the Miami Heat found themselves in a spot that they were seldom in during the regular season but had come all too familiar with in the post season: down and pressing.

Down 3-2 in the series and entering the fourth quarter down ten points, Lebron James had 12 minutes left to make sure the San Antonio Spurs did not celebrate on the floor of the American Airlines Arena.  Dwayne Wade had 12 minutes left to stage a comeback and force a game seven. And, Chris Bosh had 12 minutes left to save their season.
 
They had battled all year to defend their trophy. 82 games in the regular season, another 15 games in the postseason, and thanks to some late game heroics at the end of regulation and overtime they will have one…
