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.

We are excited to share that Turnip has been adopted! Turnip came to the Haven with his mom and littermates when he was only a few days old. He came down with parvo and had to stay at the veterinary hospital for a few weeks fighting for his life. He saw all of his littermates go home while he waited for his people. He is thriving in his new home, getting lots of love, playing with his new four legged sister, and enjoying trips to the dog park. Congratulations Turnip! Thank you to his new family for giving him his forever home!
