GROUP VOLUNTEERING

In early March, the Sigma Delta Omega sorority from OSU came out and volunteered with us. They did a wonderful job of helping our staff get the shelter ready for the day by sweeping, mopping, cleaning all of our windows, and scrubbing the walls and baseboards on the dog floor. The shelter was absolutely sparkling afterwards!

Kitten season has started! If you have ever been interested in fostering kittens or puppies for SafeHaven, now is the time to reach out. Volunteer foster caregivers provide temporary, in-home care for a homeless pet(s). The foster program is one of the most important aspects of our life-saving impact as it allows us to help animals who are not yet ready for adoption, such as underage kittens and puppies, pregnant or nursing mothers with babies, ill or injured animals, or shy/under socialized animals.

We place more than 2,300 pets in forever homes each year, and about 1,000 of these animals get their start in our foster care program. We could not accomplish our mission, goals, or save nearly as many lives without foster caregivers. Fostering an animal is a wonderful way to experience the joy of owning a pet for those who are unable to make a permanent commitment to an animal.

Join us for a Foster Care Orientation! Foster Care Orientations will be held on the first Tuesday of each month until further notice at SafeHaven in our Humane Education room. You will learn about fostering, how to care for bottle baby kittens, how to market fosters for adoption, and more! No RSVP required.

Can’t make it to an orientation, but still want to get in touch? Great! If you think fostering an animal is something you would be interested in, give us a call at 541-926-2924 or email fostercare@safehavenhumane.com.
