We are a Community Resource for you!

The "Sanctuary" is our concept for providing a nurturing environment for animals in need.  

Our facility is home to most of our cats and dogs, although some reside in foster homes initially. This helps us to learn about their behavioral traits and make "right match" placements.

 

Our animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and parasites and tested for heartworm.  This means that any animal adopted from The Sanctuary at Haafsville is ready to start a new life in your home.  

 

We are a volunteer-based organization and are very conservative financially which allows us to provide exceptional care to our resident animals.  We are funded by our ongoing fundraising efforts, donations and our partnerships. Visit our Thank You page to see some of great organizations that have helped us in our first 10 years.

At The Sanctuary at Haafsville, our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for animals in need. We empower them to heal, thrive and find loving forever homes through a volunteer community where each member is valued, supported, and appreciated. Through dedicated care, innovative programs, and community engagement, we strive to be a prominent advocate for animal welfare and promote responsible pet ownership.

Our vision at The Sanctuary at Haafsville is to create a kinder world where every animal is valued, respected, and loved. We envision a community where no animal is left behind, where their well-being is prioritized and where every pet has the opportunity to live a fulfilling life in a nurturing home. We aspire to be a leading voice in animal welfare by empowering individuals to make a positive difference in the lives of animals. Through our unwavering dedication, compassion, and innovation, we strive to build a brighter future for all animals, where they are cherished members of their family and community.

The Sanctuary at Haafsville believes that the celebration and nurturing of the human-animal bond captures the hearts, hands and minds of our community and enhances our quality of life.

Cricket

Once upon a time, there was a feisty kitten with a stressful existence in a feral colony. Life was a daily struggle. He was eventally trapped as a juvenile. Since he was older with no prior contact with people, he was going to be a challenge to foster. Luckily for this little boy, he was given to a foster mom who is more stubborn than him. He was named Cricket. The foster mom wouldn’t give up on him and continued to pet Cricket despite his growls and hisses. This disgruntled boy slowly discovered he enjoyed butt scratches, ear scratches, back scratches and belly rubs. Cricket finally purred - and purred a lot. Cricket will now place his head in your hand and hope to be pet all day. He tolerates being held briefly. In the foster home, Cricket also learned to play. His preferred toys include wand toys, catnip mice and the laser dot. Cricket is great with other cats. He does not like being placed in a carrier but is ok once he’s in it. Cricket is food motivated and enjoys Churu treats. Giving him Churu treats will be a great way to bond. Cricket graduated to the free roaming room at the Sanctuary at Haafsville and is doing very well with people and his feline friends.
This once terrified kitten has been transformed. With the help of his wonderful foster mom, Cricket learned how to be a confident and lovable cat. Of course, this is not the end of the story. It’s just the beginning. Many adventures and happy memories to be made throughout his adoption story.
Cricket is about 10 months old, healthy, neutered, vaccinated, negative for FeLV/FIV, litter trained and microchipped
