Ways You Can Help

Check out this page to see the ways you can help by donating or giving of your time

There are lots of ways to donate to Safe Haven. And please remember, Safe Haven is run totally by volunteers. We have no paid staff and all donations go for food, supplies and medical for the animals. In addition, since we're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group, your donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Donate online through PayPal, using your credit card. If you could donate even $5 and ask all of your friends and relatives to do the same, we will be on our way to helping other needy pets. We know everyone can't help by adopting or fostering but a small donation by each person reading this page is the key to saving many of them. Just click on the Donate button below and follow the instructions. It's easy, secure and only takes a couple of minutes. You can also use the feedback form below to let us know if you want your donation to be used for a specific purpose. Thank you so much for helping us to help them.
