Let’s Save Lives — Together.
For more than two decades, The Haven has been a trusted leader in animal welfare along the Eastern Shore, operating as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to protecting, caring for, and finding homes for homeless pets in Baldwin County and beyond. Through our partnerships like with the City of Fairhope Animal Shelter, we operate a unified lifesaving system that welcomes hundreds of dogs and cats each year, ensuring every animal receives compassionate care, medical attention, and the opportunity for a second chance. But our work extends beyond sheltering — we believe the most effective way to save lives is to prevent animals from entering the shelter in the first place. Through Project PAWS we provide affordable spay and neuter services, our Fix’n Ferals program supports community cats through trap, neuter, vaccinate, and return efforts, and our Luke’s Day Pet Food Pantry helps families keep their pets at home during difficult times. Supported by thousands of volunteer hours, dedicated community partners, and generous donors, we rely on charitable giving to sustain our medical care, prevention programs, shelter operations, and outreach efforts. The need is real, the impact is measurable, and the mission is urgent — and with your support, we can continue building a stronger, more compassionate future for animals in Baldwin County.
With your support, we can continue reducing shelter intake, increasing live outcomes, and building a stronger future for animals in Baldwin County.
The Haven proudly operates and manages both The Haven No-Kill Animal Shelter and the City of Fairhope Animal Shelter through a trusted public–private partnership, ensuring compassionate care for every lost, stray, and homeless pet entering our programs. Each year, more than 700 animals find safety, receive medical treatment, and get a second chance at life through our combined efforts.
As Baldwin County’s longest-serving no-kill shelter, The Haven maintains a 95–99% save rate while delivering vital community services—including affordable spay/neuter and pet wellness through Project PAWS and lifesaving support for free-roaming cats through Fix ’n’ Ferals. Together, we protect, save, and improve the lives of pets throughout Fairhope and the Eastern Shore.
