The Haven Receives Top Shelter Award

The Haven for Animals was selected as a Top Shelter in the U.S. from MuttNation and received a $5,000 Mutts Across America Grant. The grants are awarded annually to one exemplary shelter in each state. Founded in 2014 by Miranda Lambert’s mother, Bev Lambert, the grants have totaled over a quarter-million dollars. Co-sponsor of the program is Tractor Supply Company.

The Haven, the first no-kill animal shelter in Baldwin County, focuses on preventing euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats and dogs in area shelters. Since 2000, over 10,800 homeless cats and dogs have found loving homes. The nonprofit works with like-minded rescue groups and government animal control shelters to end pet homelessness.

Upon receiving the great news, Michael Graham, Executive Director of The Haven, remarked, “We are very proud to receive a Top Shelter in the U. S. recognition from MuttNation. It demonstrates that our agency’s comprehensive lifesaving programs continue to positively impact the people and homeless pets of Fairhope and surrounding communities. The special award would not be possible without our dedicated donors, our team of good board members, the City of Fairhope, Mayor Sherry Sullivan, volunteers, and our small staff.

Thanks to MuttNation and Tractor Supply for their support.
