Morning
The day begins with breakfast and cleaning. After their meal, dogs enjoy walks and playtime in the yards, while our vet team conducts health checks and provides care.
More Than a Shelter, We Are a Promise
Behind every rescued animal is a story of hope. Behind our doors is a community united by a promise: to provide refuge, healing, and a second chance at a life filled with love.
Our Beginning: A Single Act of Kindness
Pawsitive Haven began not as a plan, but as a promise. When our founder, Dr. Evelyn Reed, rescued a single shivering dog from a storm, that act of kindness sparked a mission. She saw that while one person could save a life, a dedicated community could change the world for thousands of animals in need.
What started as a small network of foster homes grew into the sanctuary you see today, proving that compassion, when shared, creates an unstoppable force for good.
Our Mission
To provide a safe and compassionate environment for homeless and neglected animals, focusing on their rehabilitation and placement in loving, permanent homes while educating the community on animal welfare.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every companion animal is cherished and has a place to call home, and where the human-animal bond is celebrated as a source of mutual joy and healing.
The Values That Guide Us
Compassion
Every animal is treated with empathy, kindness, and respect as a unique individual with a story.
Responsibility
We provide the highest standard of care for the physical and emotional well-being of every life we touch.
Community
We are powered by our volunteers, donors, and adopters who are the lifeblood of our organization.
Transparency
We operate with complete honesty, ensuring every single donation is used to its fullest potential to save lives.
Dr. Evelyn Reed
Founder & Chief Veterinarian
With over twenty years of experience, Dr. Reed founded Pawsitive Haven to create a more compassionate approach to rescue. She oversees all medical operations and is a fierce advocate for animals with special needs.

Our "No-Kill" Philosophy
To us, "no-kill" is more than a label; it is our fundamental commitment to saving every animal possible. We do not euthanize for space and reserve that difficult decision only for animals suffering from irreversible medical conditions. This philosophy means we will always fight for the senior dog, the shy cat, and the injured puppy. It is a resource-intensive path, but it is the only one we are willing to take, because we believe every life is precious.

A Day in the Life at Pawsitive Haven
Midday
Our doors open to the public. This is when the magic of adoption happens. Counselors make introductions while volunteers focus on enrichment, like puzzle toys and reading to shy cats.
Evening
After dinner, dogs get one last potty break. The lights are dimmed and soft music is played to create a calm atmosphere as our residents settle in for a safe and comfortable night.
