My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been a proud volunteer with The Haven for over 14 years. I've always been amazed at how this organization has worked tirelessly to care for the needs of the animals who find themselves there, and also how it supports the humans who take care of them and the ones who adopt them.

Recently I fostered (and eventually adopted) a special needs dog from The Haven. He is one-eyed, and at the time of fostering was heartworm positive, and was very excitable. The staff gave me a lot of support and information on how to help to keep him calm, especially during his heartworm treatment. They made themselves available to me for any question or concern I had, and this helped me to feel confident in making sure he was comfortable and happy. The staff and volunteers receive regular in-service training and continuing education on current techniques and topics related to animal care and welfare, and it shows in their support of foster families and potential adopters.

In the end, I ended up adopting my one-eyed sweetheart, "Carl." This successful adoption and many others are due to a team of very committed and knowledgeable people at The Haven.

The Haven staff members are very helpful, knowledgeable and compassionate. Especially in the past two years they have continued to lovingly care for the dogs and cats in the shelter, and have contributed significantly to the number of animals who have found loving, forever homes. The Haven also attracts great volunteers who, along with staff, work to enrich the lives of these animals while they are in the shelter. I'm also quite proud of the way The Haven works with local animal shelters and organizations to build a community-wide network for animal welfare.
