Like all of us at the shelter, you were touched by their gentle sweetness in spite of their extreme suffering. Breeze is now living with shelter volunteer Lisa Goldstein and her cat Henry. Rain is living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with Shannon Flynn. Our goal is to place every animal in our care into a safe home. We want everyone to appreciate the joy and fulfillment that a dog or cat can bring to one's life.
Every effort is made to make our shelter more homelike to prepare our animals for their real home.
Our volunteers and staff know each animal's name and personality. Our dog trainers and walkers teach shelter dogs acceptable behavior. The shelter itself must be homelike because for some of our special needs animals Animal Haven will be the only home they will ever have. Each member of the Animal Haven family contributes to this ideal of home in a different way. However, every family needs a breadwinner and in our case lots of breadwinners.
