The SafeHaven Animal Rescue Team Program was launched in 2021 in response to a large-scale Texas Akita hoarding situation. At the time, the President of Animal House Project was living part-time in Texas and recognized the urgent need for intervention. Following the successful outcome of that first rescue mission, the President requested that SafeHaven continue as an ongoing initiative under the Animal House Project.

While our primary focus is on rescue, foster care, and adoption in urgent and underserved situations, we have also assisted with puppies and small to medium sized dogs in the Pennsylvania area, placing them in kennels at our Animal House Retail for Rescue Kennels and/or short-term foster homes as needed.  Our PA Kennel # is 01658.  

At SafeHaven, we provide every dog that enters our program with a support system that includes training, education, and a lifelong safety net. We only collaborate with top-tier rescues that meet our rigorous standards—particularly when it comes to the care of all breed dogs.

Our adoption process includes:

• A completed application

• Thorough vetting of the applicant

• A scheduled Meet and Greet

• An Adoption Donation (please note: this is not a fee, but a contribution that helps us continue our mission)

Rescue is a Team Effort.
There is no “I” in our team. Every volunteer, partner, and supporter plays a vital role. Together, we are the voice for the voiceless.
