Thank you to all of our Supporters, Donors, and especially our Volunteers!
Haven's Hope operates on very limited funds each month. Without your support, donations, and volunteering your time, our precious little friends would have no where to go!
Most of them would continue to be strays on the street, injured, or worse, die of exposure and starvation.

Reunited and it feels so good
BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Cathy Bissell and her sister, Janie Jenkins, co-founded
LostPetUSA.net, an online and mobile service that features a national database of lost
and found pets. Thousands of pets have found their way home
through LostPetUSA.net
This nonprofit website exists to reunite lost and found pets quickly and efficiently to keep family pets out of shelters and in their homes. Pets often wander far from their known boundaries, so it is critical to have a resource to check distant areas. LostPetUsa.net provides an interactive map to show lost and found pets, as well as facilities where lost pets might have been taken. We encourage you to check near and far as pets can travel quickly!
While LostPetUSA.net is a valuable resource, the best defense against losing your pet is to make sure your pet gets electronically identified with a microchip that contains a unique, permanent, and tamper-proof identification number. BISSELL Pet Foundation and LostPetUSA.net recommend the Datamars microchip as a cost effective and reliable option with universal readability, however, all microchips can provide identification if your pet is lost. Through microchipping and registration, you can drastically increase the chances of being reunited with your beloved pet should you ever be unexpectedly separated. Please microchip your pet today!
