The Haven Awarded For Save Rate

Fairhope-based nonprofit The Haven no-kill animal shelter has received the No Kill Award from Best Friends Animal Society in recognition of the shelter’s 90%-plus save rate, Mullet Wrapper reports. The Haven has been a Best Friends partner for more than 15 years and works closely with the nationally recognized nonprofit to advance the cause of saving shelter animals. The Haven has also received the highest badge for transparency from charity watchdog agency Candid. Since 2000, Fairhope has outsourced its shelter operations to The Haven via a public-private partnership, which is now modeled by other municipalities. Since its founding, more than 14,000 animals have been helped through The Haven’s adoptions and its many programs.
