Please note that coming from Lubbock, we are on the NORTH end of FM 1729. Volunteer Work and Community Service

Individual volunteering- We love getting some extra help around here and if you need volunteer hours for school or just want to help out we welcome you to stop by! However, due to safety concerns we do not allow people to volunteer by walking dogs or playing with puppies. Puppies are very susceptible to illnesses and we go to great lengths to protect them from multiple viruses that are easily transmitted. Our volunteers are usually asked to help with a variety of cleaning and organizing.Our hours for volunteering are Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.There's no need to make an appointment, but we do only take a certain amount of volunteers per day so it is first come first served. Just let the staff member on duty know that you are there to volunteer and they will get you started! Group volunteering- The response for group volunteering this last year has been awesome! The support we get from churches, work groups, and school organizations has been a huge help to us and our animals. We are only able to schedule groups on Saturdays and have two shifts available. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Just email us to get scheduled, but you have to be quick! During the semester our slots fill up pretty fast! We ask that you keep your group at a maximum of 20 people. However, if you have a small group of 5 or less we may be able to schedule you during the week. Community Service- If you have any court ordered hours to fulfill you are welcome to come out and do with them with us. We only allow these hours to be completed on Saturdays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. You do not have to have an appointment. Some reminders- If you are planning on coming out and volunteering we do require that anyone that is under 18 is accompanied by an adult. Even if you are doing community service.Be sure to wear something that you don't mind getting dirty and tennis shoes or closed toe shoes. Once you are at The Haven please observe all of the signs on cages and doors. These are put up for the protection of our visitors and our residents.

Haven friends, we're looking for one of our number that seems to be missing, Kent is a little guy just under 5 lbs and was wearing red color sweater today. He is microchipped to the Haven but any extra eyes we can have out looking would be appreciated!

The dog hit on Alcove and 94th is not Kent. However, please contact us via our email if there is any way we can aid in the care of the injured dog.
Thank you all! And prayers for the dog and their family.

Foster needed!!! ‼️‼️‼️
This poor girl named Dusty was hit by a car, taken to LiveOak and then to our shelter, and is needing care while she recovers! We are hoping to find someone who has no other animals, as she has had no other shots yet, and can help administer her medications. If you are able to help please contact us!

Pumpkin had a litter of puppies right next to the interstate in New Deal. She was brought to the Haven with her babies just over two years ago. She was a great mom and she’s a sweet girl who loves everyone she meets. She was just stressed in her kennel and didn’t show well to potential adopters. She doesn’t have the stress of a kennel anymore. Pumpkin has been adopted! Her new family met her through FaceTime and drove in from San Antonio to pick her up. We are incredibly happy for her and thankful to her new family for driving from several hours away to take her home. Congratulations sweet Pumpkin!
