Pet Haven has been changing lives for 70 years. We are Minnesota's very first foster-based rescue.
The number of pets and people needing help is on the rise in Minnesota. And so are we.
Your support will mean more pets and people receive the help they need!
WHY SUPPORT PET HAVEN?
WE HELP LOCALLY
Our work is more important than ever. We focus our efforts here in Minnesota because we are seeing a massive surge in owners unable to care for their pets and rural shelters being hit hard with overcrowding.
So Pet Haven expanded our reach to help more local shelters, pet owners in crisis, and rural areas.
WE HELP OUR MINNESOTA SHELTERS WHEN THEY NEED US MOST
In 2020 Pet Haven transferred pets from 9 Minnesota shelters
In 2021 Pet Haven transferred pets from 18 Minnesota shelters
So far this year, 26 Minnesota shelters have been helped by Pet Haven!
BY THE NUMBERS
So far this year,820 cats and dogs have found a safe place to land. We expect to welcome more than 1000 by year's end. These are often unadoptable or hard-to-place pets; needing medical attention or behavioral training. All of them find love in our foster homes.
741 of cats and dogs have been adopted this year. And 260+ of these animals were surrendered by pet owners who desperately needed our services. Pet Haven'sOwner Surrender Program has seen a 65% increase over last year.
You are key to helping protect Minnesota's animals and supporting the people who love them. EVERY gift of support makes an impact on our ability to help.

If they could talk what would they tell us?
Every animal has a unique story and not all of them start out well. Many animals come to us emotionally and physically "shut down" and in need of medical care and behavioral training. They may not have had the best start in life, but your support ensures a happy ending for more than 1000 animals who will find their way home through Pet Haven this year.
Our network of over 450 foster volunteers provides safety, security, and a warm home full of love and compassion. We have a small staff and are a volunteer-based organization, so our overhead is extremely low. 100% of the money received through donations goes directly and exclusively to animal care! Thus your contribution makes a huge difference in the lives of these animals in need. You can change lives for the better.
We hope to raise $35,000 on Give To The Max. With your help, we can!
PET HAVEN IS NOT ONLY AN ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANIZATION
We are committed to spay and neuter programs that help end pet overpopulation and reduce the number of unwanted animals. We also support local food shelves and provide pet food to the community. We offer resources and support to divert surrender and support keeping families together.
Your support is critical to our ability to continue to expand our reach and help as many pets and people in need as we can. Our rescued pets thank you, the people we help thank you, and we thank you.
Help us give them a chance at a better life and quality medical care during Give To The Max 2022 so we can continue to help more in 2023.
Thank you to our volunteers, fosters, businesses that support us, corporate sponsors, and all the individuals who donate. Your dollars count.
