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.

Here’s to all the pups that have lived most of their lives at the shelter. Pepper, Smoke, Blondie, Madonna, Roz, Starlet, Cambria, Misty, Denim, Ducky, Slinky, and Velvet and there are many more we could name off but this is a special list of dogs that have lived at the shelter since they were puppies. Shelter life is all they have ever known so we try our best to give them as much as love as we can but we understand that a shelter can never add up to a real home. These pups have been passed off due to anxiety, looks, energy levels, and so on and never given the chance to show their true colors. We hope there is someone out there who will give these amazing pups a chance! Please consider adopting one of these beautiful dogs!

Aquata came to the Haven with her sister after being found on the road as pups. Her sister was promptly adopted. Aquata is shy in the kennel and would run to the back when people came to see her so she lived with us for some time. Her life changed recently when someone took the time to get to know her. Congratulations Aquata on being adopted! Thank you to her new mom for seeing her potential and giving her a loving home.

Maxine is a pup with certain needs that some may call picky but we see as her “fancy standards.” One of her needs is an all woman household with limited animals. We cannot fault her for being a fancy lady who wants lady company! If you are interested in Maxine, please reach out and see if she’s the perfect fit for you!

The three stooges: Larry, Curly, and Moe are each waiting for their forever homes! They are playful and have adorable personalities that can capture any heart! We believe they won’t get that big so we expect them to be, at most, medium sized. Whenever you pass by their pen, all three stand at attention at the front hoping for pets. Please consider taking one home and see the adorable shenanigans they’ll get into!

Here’s a shout out to our senior dogs!! Frosted faces melt our hearts and we hope they’ll melt yours too! Benny is a sweet boy who we pulled from the euthanasia list in hopes to give him a second chance at a better life. We believe he is a lab mix.
Henry is a sweet boy who loves laps and corn dogs from Sonic. His big ears make us laugh! He is a chihuahua mix.
Our last two is a bonded pair named W***y and Duke! They are the sweetest little guys that love to go on adventures! We hope they can go to a home together so they can live out the rest of their lives out together!
We hope you’ll consider adopting and bringing home a senior dog(s)! Every dog deserves a home no matter the age!

Ivy had a great day out with some of our volunteers!!! They reported that she was great in the car and on a leash! She loved playing with the kids and the park and did a great job recalling and coming back whenever she noticed the volunteers were apart from her. She loves people and wants to be with everyone! A nice policewoman came by and loved Ivy! She gave her a lollipop and Ivy gently took it.
Ivy was sweet and gentle the entire time! We hope you can meet her too and see how great she is!
