The Animal Haven

The Animal Haven is a No Kill, Not for profit Animal shelter run by a board of directors all of whom are volunteers. Our Shelter staff are the greatest animal Welfare workers in the area. Visit us today!!!

The Animal Haven has a positive public image in Greater New Haven. There are 1765 members from over 75-CT towns and about 100 members live out of state. The Animal Haven receives no income from town or government sources. All funding comes from private contributions, entry and adoption fees and fund-raisers. Our kind and humane reputation is truly reflected by the community’s continued financial support. For 60 years, the community has literally kept our doors open. The actual percentage of administrative and fund-raising expense for the last three years was less than 1%. No other local shelter has such a distinguished reputation in the area.
