DID YOU KNOW:  All of our support at Lake Haven comes from donors and volunteers. This includes the director of Lake Haven who receives no income for animal rescue. Because Lake Haven is an all volunteer organization, operating from a donated shelter building and foster homes, 100% of all donations received benefit the animals themselves.

HOW IS THE DONATION MONEY USED:  All donations collected go into the general animal rescue fund. This fund is the mainstay of our organization. It is how we pay for all medical expenses of animals that come into our program. It also pays for their food and comforts, heat and air conditioning. We also have a low-cost spay/neuter program for the public, but that is a separate fund not paid for by donations.

Support No-Kill Animal Shelters  Lake Haven believes that the "No-Kill" approach to ending the unnecessary killing of dogs and cats is a sound approach. Unfortunately, most people do not know that most of the largest animal support organization in this country ignore the successes of "No-Kill" shelters and continue to destroy adoptable animals. How is the money you donate being used by these organizations?

Please Contact Your Congressman  You can help to put an end to pound seizure and inhumane euthanasia in Michigan. Please help.
