Community FILL THE VAN WITH CANS On November 14th, you filled the van! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Lebanon Gift and Thrift and dropped off cans and bottles. Our van and hearts were full. As always, we are happy to give you blue bottle drop bags and can accept them at the shelter. If you run out, just stop by for more. This program is a succesful fundraiser for the animals year-round!
NAMING A LITTER During our virtual auction, Rescue Roundup from the Homestead, two lucky people won the chance to name a litter of puppies at SafeHaven and also a litter of kittens. What a fun opportunity to put your thinking cap on! A lot of people don't realize that most animals that come to SafeHaven already have names, but sometimes we get the chance to name puppies and kittens born in foster care. Our "Name a Litter of Puppies" winner gave us a beautiful explanation of how she chose the names for her litter: "I finally decided on a theme of authors that I have enjoyed reading. I'll loosely compare choosing a puppy to choosing a book to read; the choice you make may impact you in more ways than you imagine. You truly cannot judge a puppy from its appearance, just like you cannot judge a book by its cover. Only by investing your time and opening your heart do you truly get to experience the joy of a good story unfolding or watching a puppy grow into its potential. Both books and puppies can bring so much into our lives. They both can cause us to experience a new reality and push us to be patient, more open of mind and willing to explore who we are at our best and at our worst." Jess, the winner of naming the puppies, is also considering adopting one! We will keep you updated as the puppies grow big and strong enough for adoption and finding their forever homes.
