Thank You Osu Public Safety

We would like to give a huge thank you to Cedar and all of his friends at Oregon State University - Public Safety! Cedar is the resident wellness dog and lives on-site to provide comfort and support to public safety employees as well as many students and staff around campus. He recently had a birthday and decided to collect items to donate to local shelters. Cedar had his friends drop off so many goodies for our shelter dogs. Thank you Cedar for all you do for the community!

Santa Paws

If you have been supporting SafeHaven through the years, you may have attended Santa Paws, a fundraiser that gives families the option to get their holiday photos done with their pets while making a difference in the lives of shelter animals.

This year, Santa Paws was offered for two days, one at SafeHaven and one back to Coastal Farm and Ranch, where the event was previously held for many years. Some families have been attending Santa Paws for over 10 years! We photographed 58 families/groups and as always, oohed and ahhed over every single one. We want to give a special shout out to Peggy Krause, longtime volunteer and photographer who captured all these special moments. Learn more about Charlotte, pictured, below.

"Howdy, my name is Charlotte and I came all the way from the big state of Texas to find my forever home. If you come to SafeHaven to visit me, I may seem stand-of-ish, but really I'm a big sweetheart. I tend to fit in with my southern belles quicker than the fellas. Ya'll, food is my love language. Take me outside, give me a treat and I will LOVE you until the cows come home! Being at the shelter is new for me, so I'm a bit nervous and get loud when other dogs walk by my space. I reckon I like other dogs, but I'll need to slowly meet them first. If you are looking for a sweet, smart, loyal cowgirl in your life, stop by and meet me today!"

WINTER CAMPS ARE BACK!

SafeHaven’s Winter Animal Adventure Camps are back and we are excited! This year we are pleased to offer two separate opportunities for kids to visit the shelter for a day of fun, friends, and fur. Camps will be full of crafts and activities that center around the animal welfare world. Each day will also include valuable socialization time spent with our adoptable animals. Camps run from 9am-4pm, and pre-registration is required. Campers will also need to bring a lunch. Snack will be provided. If you would like more details, want to reserve a space, or have any questions, please contact Katie B. at HumaneEd@safehavenhumane.com or call 541-928-2789. Camps are $60 per day per child. Let’s get this party started!

DECEMBER 21ST: For kids Kindergarten through 5th grade. The day will be filled with adorable animals, fun games, enjoyable crafts, and exciting activities!

DECEMBER 30TH: For kids 2nd though 6th grade. The day will be filled with adorable animals, fun games, enjoyable crafts, and exciting activities!

Please note that registration fees are nonrefundable. Unused registration fees may be applied to other humane education programs during the same calendar year or be considered a donation. To be considered unused, you must notify SafeHaven that you cannot attend at least 10 days before the event, so we have time to reopen your space(s).
