Ahimsa Haven was incorporated in 1999 as a nonprofit animal rescue group. Our mission is to find good homes for abused, abandoned, homeless and unwanted domestic animals. We raise money through donations, grants, and fundraising events in order to provide routine and emergency medical care for animals in need. Every penny we raise goes to the animals - no one gets a salary!
We ask that each person interested in adopting a pet from our rescue complete an adoption application as part of the adoption process. Each application is reviewed carefully and with the best interests of our rescue pets in mind. Sometimes we have to turn down an application. This is not to say that the applicant does not love animals or is not a good person. This only means that certain criteria have not been met. Please understand that no one is allowed special consideration based upon a personal or professional relationship to one of our volunteers. This would not be fair to everyone else.
