shelterer
One who harbors
A shelterer is someone who provides shelter or protection to others.
The term appears most often in contexts involving refugees, fugitives, or animals: shelterers of runaway slaves, wildlife shelterers who rehabilitate injured birds.
It can also describe someone who shields another from harsh realities: a shelterer of children from life's cruelties.
