Hope's Haven Animal Shelter (Benewah Humane Society) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are the only animal shelter in the county (the area we cover is approximately 787 square miles). We are run by dedicated staff and volunteers who spend much of their own time and money caring for homeless pets. Our mission is to spay/neuter all animals, find homes for needy animals, and educate the public on pet care and spay/neuter programs. Millions of animals are needlessly euthanized every year, and we would like to lower these terribly large numbers. We are a "no-kill" shelter with a full house and a waiting list for incoming pets. Some of our volunteers foster animals in their own homes when we are too full to take any more animals. We assist law enforcement in investigating cases of suspected abuse or neglect. We rescue abandoned, lost, or animals in distress. Every effort is made to find the owners and/or find happy endings for these animals. Clothes for families in emergency situations or with foster children are made available at no cost from our thrift store.
Come into Hope's Haven to visit and view our animals -or- check them out first online at www.petfinder.com. Once you've chosen the special pet for you (or it HAS chosen & rescued you), fill out an adoption application at Hope's Haven, pay the adoption fees, and take home your "fur-ever" friend. Adoption fees are tax-deductible.
