SafeHaven Humane Society, Linn County's Only No-Kill Shelter

SafeHaven Humane Society is a non-profit, privately funded, limited admission shelter, that does not use euthanasia for population control. We receive no funding from the city, county, state or federal government to operate. Donations from you keep our doors open to the over 1,000 animals we take in and adopt out each year. Thank You!

Monday August 25th the shelter will be closed for a staff training and appreciation day.

Friday August 22nd
SafeHaven Humane Society assisted the Linn County Sheriffs office today with the removal of 13 cats and 3 dogs from a property in Scio. The property owner was facing eviction in less than 30 days.
All the animals are currently being treated for a variety of illnesses including Upper Respiratory Infections, ringworm, lice, and fleas. Space and resources are already very limited at SafeHaven due to the overwhelming number of cats and kittens we have taken in this summer, but we knew these animals needed our help.
If you would like to help; donations of NON-clumping cat litter, Kirkland or Purina brand dry cat food, and monetary donations for medications are greatly needed. If you are considering adoption at this time we hope you will visit us as we try and find as many healthy adoptable animals homes this week as possible. If you have any questions please contact our Executive Director Chris Storm at 928-2789.

Cat/ Kitten Adoption Specials- we have so many wonderful cats and kittens to choose from right now. We have reduced the adoption fees to $45 for one or $65 for two. Adoptions include vaccinations, de-wormer, flea treatment, 30 days shelter care insurance, micro-chip, collar and ID tag and most kittens and all adult cats are already spayed and neutered.

We are STILL in need of foster care families. We are receiving over 30 calls per day asking us to take in pregnant cats and kittens. SafeHaven can only take in kittens under 8 weeks old that we have foster care for, they are not old enough to be at the shelter and have not received adequate vaccinations. Sometimes they only need to foster for a week or two until they are old enough. We provide the food, medication, litter pans, and support. If you would like more information on fostering please email foster@safehavenhumane.com. call 928-2789 or download the application here. If you have found young kittens without their mother you may need to care for them until foster care can be arranged. For information on how to care for kittens visit our resources page.

Greystoke Medical Fund - This fund helps provide medical services to animals that need above and beyond just routine medical care. Without this fund it would be very difficult to afford the extensive medical care some animals need to be healthy and adoptable. Please consider donating to this fund today. For more information contact us at 928-2789 or just click on the Pay Pal link to make a secure online donation

Josh- is a fairly young adult male lab. He was adopted but returned when his new owners noticed he was limping and couldn't afford to care for him anymore. What looked at first like a minor injury turned out to be a major illness. Josh was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right rear leg. Josh is currently on daily pain medication but other than a limp he hardly misses a beat. He's just as full of energy as ever. We would like to find foster care for Josh to live out his days. We estimate he has anywhere from 3-6 months before the cancer becomes too painful. If you would like to donate to the Greystoke Fund in Josh's name please visit this link. If you are interested in fostering Josh please contact us at 928-2789 or email: development@safehavenhumane.com

Mckinley-is an adult female cat with medium long hair. She is a watcher and loves to look out windows. She has a bit of an independent streak but loves to be petted. McKinley has been at the shelter for months, she is our longest cat resident, and would really like a forever home.
