Linn Animal Samaritan Fund

The Linn Animal Samaritan Fund was started by the Albany Police Department, Linn County Sheriffs Office, and SafeHaven Humane Society to provide medical care for injured stray dogs and cats found by local officers.
Thanks to this fund these animals can now be taken to local veterinarians where they can receive treatment until an owner can be located. Donations can be sent to SafeHaven c/o the Linn Animal Samaritan Fund. For more information please email us or call 928-2789.

Animals needing help...

Abbie
Abbie a 4-5 month old female Black Lab was found by Linn County Dog Control outside Sweet Home with a fractured rear leg. She was taken immediately to Linn Veterinary Hospital to be stablized and we waited to see if an owner came forward. Her stray time was complete on Thursday and no one had claimed her. She has been transferred to Albany Animal Hospital where they are working with an orthopedic surgeon to decide the best surgery option for Abbie. Surgery estimates are $600 to $1200. We are hoping to raise enough money for Abbies surgery and any more we raise will go into the fund to help future injured strays.

Duncan a male Chow cross was found by a Linn County Sherrifs officer but no owner has been found. The dog is currently stablized at Linn Veterinary Hospital and surgery will be done to fix the dogs injured leg. If no owner comes forward the dog will be transferred to SafeHaven and placed up for adoption. Donations are needed to help with the cost of surgery. View article online. Duncan has recieved his surgery and found his forever home!
