Haven

SAY HELLO TO HAVEN, A NEW VASHON ISLAND ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANIZATION 

Just over a year ago, we announced our new nonprofit animal rescue and welfare organization, known simply as Haven. And the opening of Haven House, an innovative home-care model designed to support animal care needs on Vashon Island.

We know one-on-one human interaction and loving care are best for homeless dogs and cats. We also know there have never been enough foster homes on Vashon to fully provide for Island animals in need. Haven House creates a best-of-both-worlds scenario. Here, animals needing new homes or interim care live with our experienced caretaker in a residential setting, with dogs in one house on the property and cats in a second.

At Haven, there are couches, not kennels. There are private spaces and play areas, and dogs and cats are allowed on the bed to curl up to read, cuddle or take a nap. Haven’s home-care model embraces sheltering rather than the idea of being a shelter. Surrounded by forests and fields, animals are given refuge, love and all they need to thrive.

Will you join us in this work by making a support donation today?
