Profiles: Kimmy's Safe Haven Rescue

Kimmy's Safe Haven Rescue is a nonprofit organization located in Little Egg Harbor Township. Kim Brown started fostering and volunteering with rescues in 2013. She quickly fell in love, adopting her first two fosters and continued to foster others.

In 2015 she lost her younger brother to suicide; Matthew had suffered from bipolar disorder. "I needed something to help me deal with the loss of my brother," she said, and found her calling in helping animals that were suffering locally.

Kimmy's Safe Haven particularly focuses on abused, neglected, abandoned and feral animals. "We currently have roughly 80 animals in our rescue," said Brown. "Some have been with us a short time and others a long time due to health issues and special needs. Many of these animals would not stand a chance without the rescue and they all carry a special place in her heart."
