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.

This year, we also had a generous and anonymous match of $15,000! On Giving Tuesday this year, YOU helped raise $11,374, resulting in a total of $26,374 for the animals at

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.

We're Thankful for You!

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.
