Finally Home Animal Haven We are a nonprofit rescue dedicated to saving abused and neglected donkeys and other animals in need.

We are 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue for abused and neglected donkeys and mostly barnyard animals. We are dedicated to rehabilitating, retraining and safely placing animals into a forever home or when not possible, providing a permanent sanctuary here at Finally Home Animal Haven. We are devoted to educating people about these loving animals and helping to provide them with a forever home: a place wh

ere they will never experience unnecessary pain again brought onto them by a cruel human hand. A place where all animals can live out their lives without having to work until they are no longer needed and thrown aside, a place where possibly for one of the first times in their life they will feel only love. They will never have to worry about having a shelter to shade them from the storm or wonder where they will get their next meal, a place where they can live out the rest of their lives peacefully, a place where they will always feel: Finally Home. Due to the layout of our land and area, we are mainly dedicated to helping larger barnyard animals, however we always try to help smaller animals in emergent situations, when space allows. To learn more about our story and meet our rescues visit our website at www.finallyhomehaven.org

Schedule a visit: As we focus on the animals that need our daily care, we are closed to the public currently except by appointment, as most rescues operate. We will have several open house dates coming up in the future, please consider one of those dates if wanting to take a tour and learn more about what we do!

🍁 WE ARE THANKFUL 🙏🍂
As the holidays near, we look back at all that we have accomplished through our organization over the year. Ensuring that the animals who enter our gates receive the care that they need is always our main goal, but additionally enriching their lives has always been at the top of our list.

Some of our heavier cases that require complex care plans, may always need to be a sanctuary animal at FHAH. Helping to provide a happy, thriving and loving environment is just as important as their essential physical and nutritional needs.

With the assistance of our wonderful community partners, in addition to lifesaving grants, incredible volunteers, and many kindhearted
donors, we have been able to ensure that doing so has always been possible.

A special thanks to:
* 99.7 CYK for always ensuring that our adoptable animals have a monthly spotlight on their station
*Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc. for ensuring that the animals have fresh fruits and vegetables that may go to waste after distribution
*The Bama Works Fund for ensuring we had assistance for a new feed & medicine shelter after an unfortunate collapse during a winter storm
* Athletes For Animals grant that helped assist with the purchasing of tons of enrichment toys for our furry feline friends
*RedRover for an animal specific emergency surgery grant, as well as Petfinder Foundation for an equine specific grant.

With all that FHAH has accomplished this year one thing is certain: this would not have been possible without our amazing donors who allow us to provide a nurturing environment for these animals. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We are thankful for you all and look forward to what 2026 may bring!

Life is just way too short. 💔
A couple of days ago, early in the morning we found Ellie lying in her field, too weak to get up. We immediately called the vet who said she would be there as soon as she could. The night before she ate her meal as usual, licking the bowl clean. During the time it took for the vet to arrive we were able to coax her to her feet several times. It was a struggle and we knew she was suffering. The vet performed her exam and determined it was a probable strangulated lipoma, which often comes on suddenly and without warning in these older ladies. Lying there, she looked into our eyes and we knew she was telling us it was time.

Ellie came to us over 6 months ago, a beautiful… yet broken hearted red mare. She looked like she had given up hope. Given up by her owners in her time of need.

We visited with her in a round pen in the back of a field, surrendered because her care had become “too difficult”. Employed as a riding horse (which she could no longer do) she now had to be fed large amounts of mush, multiple times a day, and required too much care to handle. We observed initially that she could barely put weight on her front leg. She hobbled over to us, as we were informed that she also experienced some pain in her hip. She kept her head held low but she stood there as we spoke to her, soaking in the attention. We honestly did not know what we could do for her (if anything) at a remarkable 35 years old, but we knew we had to try.

From the intake visit, the vet spoke to us about her quality of life and knowing when it was time. Since we take in many hospice animals, this is something we are very well accustomed to.

We dove deep into her care from the beginning -she received weekly massages, red light therapy, wraps for her hooves, and special supplements. Our beloved volunteers even practiced Reiki sessions on her joints. Slowly she improved and while still moving like an older horse would, over time she no longer had intense pain in her joints. Ellie was a fighter.

She developed a close bond with another eqine named Willow (whom she refused from then on to let out of her sight). She was no longer alone, she loved having a companion.

She roamed a large open field and she no longer hobbled there! She galloped to her feed buckets often, grazed on green pastures, enjoyed the autumn breeze and adored being devoted on.

We couldn’t believe the progress she made and she surprised us every day. She had hope and she gave us hope. Each new day with her was a gift as we knew with her age we were on borrowed time.

In our opinion-we were blessed. You see, we were LUCKY enough to have her at the time in her life when all those things mattered. We gave her the love she deserved and that is what she gave us in return-tenfold.
She knew love, true love, from the moment she entered our gates. She had the end of life she always deserved. For the time she was with us, she mattered. 🩷

Rest in peace beautiful girl. 🐴

💔 A Heartfelt Tribute to Tucker
“Tucker was my soul dog. My best friend. He brought more joy to my life than I can explain.”

When Tucker passed, his family wanted more than a memory — they wanted a tribute that felt like him. Ani-mal’s Design created a portrait of Tucker in his fishing hat and vest, sitting by their favorite pond. 🎣

It’s now a keepsake that helps them smile through the sadness and celebrate his life.

If you’ve lost a beloved pet, Ani-mal’s Design would be honored to create a tribute too. 20% of all orders help us rescue more animals like Tucker. 💕
