Safe Haven is a county wide humane society supported entirely by community donations and dedicated volunteers. We place no time limit on the length of stay once a cat or dog has been accepted into our adoption program.
We believe that together we can make a difference in the lives of adoptable stray, unwanted, abused companion animals and the people who open their hearts and homes to them.
Safe Haven’s mission is to provide a temporary haven and treatment for adoptable cats and dogs, place them in suitable homes, increase awareness of the humane treatment of animals and promote spay/neuter programs to reduce the overpopulation of cats and dogs in Jo Daviess County.
Whether your attraction is to dogs or cats or both, the behavior of these domestic animals can sometimes cause real problems in our human lives. The goal of these informational articles is to educate the general public in some understanding of dog and cat behavior, to prepare ourselves when we bring these animals into our homes and to assist in dealing with behavioral issues when they arise.
