Safe Haven is a "no kill" group rescuing, rehabilitating, fostering and arranging permanent homes for abandoned and overlooked animals in southern York County. The mission of Safe Haven Humane Society is to provide a safe environment for animals in need so that they experience compassion and healing and find freedom from suffering, according to Safe Haven's website. Volunteers for Safe Haven provide home environments for these orphaned animals to receive loving care and the socialization they need to be ready to enter into their new family life once they are adopted out.
Any volunteer interested in becoming a foster family to one of Safe Haven's homeless animals is urged to contact the organization to learn more about training and qualifications.
