Review for The Haven, Fairhope, AL, USA
I LOVE the Haven!! I’ve adopted dogs from them & also have volunteered with them. I’ve had many dogs as pets but the black lab mix I adopted from the Haven was the BEST dog ever!
They named her Queenie & treated her like royalty. She had been abandoned & abused but they did surgeries to take care of her medical problems (hot motor oil poured over her, creating scars, & bullets or pellets removed from her. Because of the love & care for her by the Director, Mike Graham, the vet & founder of The Haven, Dr Teresa Marshal, & all the trained staff & volunteers
Queenie was the sweetest and most loving dog. She was good around youngsters & older people. She went with me to visit nursing homes, special education children’s reading programs, school kids of various ages for programs about “Being Kind yo Animals”, & also adult groups who wanted to hear about the Haven & their animals.
Mike & staff were always helpful when I had questions about Queenie. She was the longest staying dog at their kennels (close to two years) & they never gave up on her. I was blessed to have adopted her & to meet the wonderful caring Haven people.
I was so impressed that later after Queenie passed away that I found two dogs elsewhere but insisted that they be “Havenized”, examined & adopted officially thru the Haven even though they had first come from elsewhere.
It has been a pleasure to donate & volunteer to the Haven, even though I’ve lived farther away.
