S.A.F.E. Animal Haven

Dog rescue in Matthews, NC

We are a dedeicated group of volunteers who house abandon, abused and neglected dogs in our homes until they can find a forever home. Our organzition operates from the donations that we receive. We are a 501 C 3 non-profit organization so all donations are tax deductible. S.A.F.E. Animal Haven is comprised of a group of volunteers with many years of experience who came together with the belief that we could make a difference one animal at a time, one child at a time, one day at a time. Our volunteers conduct educational programs in our school system and try to network with other groups in order to make a difference in the world.
