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.

Adoption Spotlight

Vixen
Vixen can’t seem to catch a break. We are urgently looking for a medical foster with intent to adopt home for this girl.
To start her sad story, Vixen was dumped on a busy road in Philly. She was tied to a pole where she needed immediate medical attention due to a uterine prolapse. It was heart breaking for her – being stuck, abandoned, and in pain. Who knows how long she was left there?
 
Fortunately, she was rescued and received the veterinary care that she so desperately needed. Vixen recovered quickly with us in a sweet cottage where she was able to stay calm and get lots of loving.

Just when we think she is fully recovered, healthy, and happy – we noticed her favoring one of her legs. Her diagnosis showed that she has a partial tear in her ACL and will need a brace to help her heal.
In case you haven’t met Vixen yet, she is a spunky girl who is a tad clumsy. She loves to go on her walks and play with volunteers. Vixen will need lots of rest and extra attention to make up for the lack of distance she can walk. She loves toys and still acts like a puppy.
 
Right now, she has a wonderful foster that is helping her heal. Unfortunately, her foster is unable to keep her because they have hardwood floors. The floors are so slippery, and Vixen keeps falling and possibly hurting herself more.
Once she has her brace on, it is important to have her on floors that have traction. We are hoping to find a home with carpet floors and no other pets to prevent her from getting amped up. Due to her pulling on a leash, the vet recommended keeping her in a fenced area to prevent her from pulling.
 
She is a goofy, gentle giant – weighing just shy of 100 lbs! Believe it or not, she thinks she is a lap dog! Who could say no to those cuddles?
She is super sweet, playful, and fun! Vixen is potty trained in foster and a wonderful house guest. As long as you don’t mind slobber and snoring, she is an absolute dream!
 
Please help us find Vixen her forever home. We are still surprised she has been with us since December! We think those big puppy eyes are irresistible. Vixen is a female Presa Canario around 1.5 years old. We know we are looking for a unicorn family - no pets, a fenced yard, and carpeted floors. Can you be her unicorn? Know someone that can be? Please help us find her a home!
