Sasawin Safe Haven was established in 2013. As a program of the Women's The Women's Center Sasawin Safe Haven provides a safe home and veterinary care for domestic violence survivors while they and their human family seek safety.
The word "Sasawin" is Anishinaabe. It means a nest of safety or safe haven. We worked with a native speaker of Anishinaabe at the NMU Center for Native American Studies to arrive at this name because we wanted to honor the land and people on which we reside.
We chose this name many years before Northern Michigan University began to recognize the importance of this land and people in their graduation ceremony (today) and other writings. How about that? Sasawin Safe Haven was also ahead of the curve at a state and national level in recognizing that pets are family.
Please share this post so everyone can learn about who we are and what we do. Saving the Whole Family.

We work with the Women's Center/Harbor House to maintain the Human-Animal Bond. We will help you to heal with your Whole Family.
