Thank you Mark Storrey and April Scott for such a wonderful visit and showing me your wonderful place and introducing me to the crew at Haven Humane Society. I look forward to working with you guys in the future to making you Best of the North State in adopting animals. I know handsome Brad Pitt will be adopted before I get a chance to see him again.  I really love the way you are working so hard to be a no kill shelter. Great things our happening.

Good things are happening at Haven Humane Society thanks to our dedicated sponsors, donors, supporters, volunteers, and staff. In 2016 we set a new record by achieving a 92% live release rate for dogs and have placed thousands of pets into loving, forever homes through adoption, rescue, and foster care. All of these activities help us move closer to our goal of becoming No Kill by 2021, but we cannot achieve this alone.

We cherish partnerships with local businesses and would like to offer you the opportunity to support shelter animals by becoming a sponsor at one or more of our 2018 events. Your financial support will help us fund our daily operations, establish a new kitten nursery, and fund a variety of programs that reach thousands of at-risk pets each year and move us closer to our ultimate goal of a North State with no more homeless pets!

For those of you who were not sure exactly what our department team does on a weekly basis we have many tasks. The Development team is responsible for reaching out and partnering with business owners and community members on behalf of the homeless animals in the North State in order to raise money and bring awareness. We offer and manage a variety of sponsorship marketing opportunities, fundraisers, support programs and creating new financial avenues within the community to help place animals into their loving, forever homes.

As the new Director of Development I am extremely excited about all of our upcoming events for 2018!

We are always in need of business sponsors for these wonderful events which we provide several marketing benefits in return. Including Media – TV, Radio and Print. Social Media, Signage at all of our events and of course incredible PPI! (Pawsitive Public Image).
