Occasionally you may see a post stating that we have reached our limit temporarily - This means that we are currently housing 12 rescue dogs. This is our personal limit, the number we can comfortably care for, feed and keep groomed without stretching ourselves too thin. However, we will make exceptions for true emergencies such as an injured or abuse cases which are usually referred to us by the local or State Police. Since we refuse to put elderly, handicapped, puppy mill dogs, or abused dogs on a concrete floor, in individual fenced runs. We believe that it is better to make the worst case dogs feel like they really are home, than to take in many dogs only to have them put in a kennel run, isolated and in most cases, in the same situation they were rescued from. Our operating budget usually consists of what ever is left of our personal income after the bills are paid. We attend several craft shows and other fundraisers a year, all of which directly benefit the dogs at Safehaven. At no time do we use donated funds to pay the bills, or for "administrative fees" as other rescues and shelters do. Your donations go to buy the best dog food we can afford, new toys, treats, flea products, heartworm preventative medications, occasionally beds, and snuggle blankets and sweaters for the elderly dogs for winter. You can be assured, that your donation is NOT going into someone's pocket (unless maybe Petsmart's) We receive no state or federal funding for our rescue work. Monetary donations to help cover their expenses can be sent through Paypal at [email protected] or mailed directly to 162 Saxton Avenue, Norway SC 29113.
