Last Hope, Safe Haven, Inc.

How You Can Help

Last Hope, Safe Haven, Inc. bridges the gap between the shelter and the financially strained rescues across the United States by providing the funding necessary to extricate dogs facing euthanization. By donating to Last Hope, Safe Haven your donation is doubled dollar for dollar, as we do not ask for reimbursement of the distributed funds, but rather that the participating rescue utilize any adoption fees for a dog that they receive with our assistance, to save yet ANOTHER life! This is our "Pay It Forward" mission! 

How are we doing?

Figures for our second quarter should be posted soon. The following figures reflect only funds raised and numbers of dogs saved in our first quarter of incorporation 9-27-07 thru 12-31-07.  Total Dogs Saved to date, including those saved before incorporation is over 140, but 65 dogs saved in our just over 2 months is a remarkable achievement!  Thank you to each and every one of you who helped us help them.

65 Dogs Saved in our first quarter after incorporating!

Donate or Hold a Fund Raising Event

The more funds we can raise, the greater number of dogs we can save from unnecessary euthanasia. Just Pennies a Day Can Save Their Lives!

Sponsor A Dog

When you sponsor a Last Hope, Safe Haven dog we will send a photo of "your" dog to you (or if it is a gift, to whom ever is indicated) along with the story of his or her journey to freedom! Give the gift of life as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday present.  Ask us about Corporate Sponsorships too!  

Please consider giving the gift of life this year! For birthdays, anniversaries, holidays....A Life Saved is the perfect gift for all occasions!

Remember Us In Your Will

A bequest from your estate ensures that the love you have for animals will live on after you pass.

Adopt A Dog

Make Adoption Your First Option!  A simple solution to the national pet overpopulation problem...yet effective.  If we all adopted just one, there would be very few to save.  And talk to others about adopting dogs instead of buying them. Adopting instead of shopping will save thousands of dogs from being euthanized in shelters every day. Sadly, a dog is put down approximately every 9 seconds in the United States.

Foster A Dog

Tell your friends, co-workers, people you meet at the vets, the grocery store clerk....educate as many people as you can reach.  We are in desperate need of people experienced with GSDs to provide temporary but loving foster homes. Please complete our online Foster Home Questionnaire.  Currently foster homes in Ohio are especially in short supply.

Spay or Neuter Your Pets

Spaying those dogs not competing in the show ring prevents more homeless dogs.  Talk about it with any friends or neighbors with un-altered pets.

Thank you for doing all you are able.Teach Your Children to Value All Living Creatures

Learning to value life begins at an early age. Studies have shown that teaching children how to stop the neglect and abuse of animals through early humane education stays with them into adulthood.
