Did you know? You can make a gift in honor of a loved one this holiday season by making a donation through our website or at our shelter. Making a gift to SafeHaven is a great way to honor or remember the animal lover in your life. After you make your gift, a personalized holiday card will be sent to their home or a location of your choosing notifying them of your contribution.

1. Stop by the shelter and make your donation at our front desk and be sure to ask them about our 'Honor A Loved One Holiday Program'. They will ask you for the recipient's information and a card will be sent.

2. Simply head over to our website and click DONATE in the top left corner. Make sure to check the box marked 'I would like to dedicate this donation.' This will ask you for names and the address where you would like the card sent.

For a holiday card to be sent before Christmas, tributes will need to be made on or before Friday, December 17th.

You'll want this happy calendar hanging in your home or office for the next 14 months! In 2021, we auctioned off 14 slots to supporters who wanted to feature their pet in our next calendar. This not only brought in funds to save more pets, we also were so happy to see the photos and hear the stories of your furry loved ones! We're happy to announce that this calendar is now available for purchase. Get your copy at the SafeHaven lobby or at either Gift & Thrift for only $10 and enjoy happy tails all year long. These calendars will also make a great gift!

Don't wait - stock is limited.

What is Giving Tuesday? Giving Tuesday refers to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a movement fueled by community and kindness to create an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season. To celebrate Giving Tuesday this year, SafeHaven shared with the community some of the stories that warm our hearts and make every effort worthwhile. On social media and through emails, we told you about Charlotte, a sweet Texas girl who has been extra patient in waiting for a perfect family.

SafeHaven and the many more to come through the doors that will need our help. Because of your support, each of the animals here, and the many to come, WILL find their forever homes, no matter how long it takes.

After over a year and a half of very unexpected and unforeseen circumstances, this Thanksgiving, we are most thankful for you. If you are reading this Pet Press, if you have visited our shelter and/or Gift & Thrift stores, if you've adopted, if you've attended an event, if you Like or Share our stories on social media, THANK YOU. There are so many ways to support SafeHaven and we know that we have had you on our team, especially though this crazy time.

Through the height of the pandemic and all the twists and turns in between, we have been grateful to be able to count on your support for the animals. Since they have no voice of their own, you have given us the ability to speak up for them and demand better for the over 2,000 pets adopted each year.

So Thank You! Your dedication does not go unnoticed and we are all thinking of you with appreciation this holiday season.
