🎓 PROUD GRADUATE 🎓

Daria is the latest pup to graduate from the P.A.W.S. of Purpose Program. For the past nine weeks, our girl Daria has been living with young men in custody on Rikers Island. During this time, Daria has been receiving lots of love and training from the individuals in the PAWS housing unit, overseen by professional dog trainers. 🐕

We’re proud to be part of this program, and excited for Daria’s next big adventure: finding a HOME! 🏡 Are you interested in meeting this petite 4-year-old pittie? We’d love to introduce you. Reach out to our team, as Daria is spending a bit more time at Rikers before coming back to Animal Haven. 💜

From war-torn Lebanon to HOME! 🏡

You might remember Murphy, who was rescued from the roof of a crumbling building in a suburb of Beirut. Murphy was one of nearly a dozen cats that came to Animal Haven from Lebanon. Given his absolutely adorable personality, it didn’t take very long for Murphy to capture the heart of his adopter! 🥹

“I just wanted to share an update and a heartfelt thank you. Murphy has been such a joy to have in my life. Thanks to your incredible team, we’ve been able to get a handle on some of his health conditions and give him the care he deserves.

Since I adopted him, Murphy has been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as allergies that we’re now working through with a veterinary dermatologist. I’m incredibly grateful that your team covered his dental surgeries and follow-up care—your support has made a huge difference.

Murphy is truly thriving. He loves anything with feathers, curling up in laps, and watching bird and squirrel videos like it’s his favorite pastime. He is an extremely smart guy - he’s learned how to high-five and stand up (for treats of course). He now high-fives whenever he wants a snack. He’s had a tough journey, coming all the way from Lebanon, and I feel lucky to be a part of his recovery and his new life.

At the moment, he’s been wearing surgical cat shirts to help manage his allergies (he gives himself hotspots due to his allergies), but he pulls off every color effortlessly!

Thank you again for everything you do—for Murphy and for so many other animals. I’m beyond grateful to have found him through a shelter so near and dear to me.”

Success stories like Murphy’s remind us why we do what we do—and we’d love to hear yours! Share your with us via DM or at [email protected] 💜

Yeehaw! 🤠 Meet our Yellowstone puppies!

Beth, Jimmy, Kayce, and Rip are all ready to roll on into your hearts! At around 2.5 months old, this rowdy crew is actually pretty cute and cuddly, if we’re being honest! When they’re not napping or rolling around playing with each other, they’re saddling up (metaphorically) to search for their new homes.

We're told that their mom was a petite 33lbs, though dad is a mystery, so expect this crew to grow to be around medium-sized.

Ready to lasso one of these perfect pups? Make sure you’re ready for the adventures of puppyhood—from potty training to obedience. We bet these cute, smooshy faces will make the journey worth it! These puppies are up for adoption at Animal Haven! Come visit them during our adoption hours every Tuesday-Friday from 1-7pm and Sundays from 12-4pm. No appointment is necessary during adoption hours to meet your new best bud. 💜 Adopt a puppy today!

Who were the biggest stars at our Benefit for the Animals? Glad you asked...our PUPPIES! 🤩🐶

We hand-picked several VIPs (very important pups) to attend our gala, where they romped, posed for pics, and were snuggled by guests in our Puppy Penthouse.

You can see all of these adoptable VIPs on our website! They include the Yellowstone litter of pudgy pitties, the Criminal Minds husky mixes, and our Severance retriever mix puppies. All of these little ones are between 2.5 and 4 months old, very cute, and ready to find their homes! 🥰

Want to adopt a star? Come meet them at Animal Haven! Visit during our adoption hours: 1–7pm Tuesday through Friday and 1–4pm on Sunday. 💜

Our annual Benefit for the Animals was last night, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! 🤩💜

We are in awe of the support that filled the room and we are beyond grateful to have shared it with amazing animal advocates who joined us to show their support for animals in need. Together, they helped us raise more than $800,000! 🐶🐱

Our friend and advocate, , received the Leonard Simon Award for her work to unite creativity with pet adoption — including a NYFW show featuring adoptable Animal Haven dogs. received our Corporate Responsibility Award for their multi-faceted support of our mission, from hosting The Daily Show’s first-ever InDogCision event at Animal Haven to bringing Paramount volunteers to the shelter to help out.

We were honored to have co-host the night alongside our Executive Director, Tiffany Lacey, and we welcomed dynamic guest presenters including , , and from Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

This was an amazing evening that raised critical funds to make our rescue work and mission possible. We’ll see you all next year! 💜

A few weeks ago, our friends in Miami asked if Animal Haven could help find homes for dogs in need—including sweet senior Ernest. 🐕

Like many parts of the country, Miami faces the difficult reality of too many stray and abandoned dogs, with too few adoptive homes. For dogs like Ernest, coming to NYC is the second chance he deserves—but it also frees up valuable kennel space for other pets in need at overcrowded shelters. ❤️‍🩹

We’re still getting to know Ernest, but so far he’s a charming senior pup. He does have a few medical issues we’re getting to the bottom of with the help of our veterinary team. This includes skin issues, which could be from allergies, as well as some problems with his eyes. Our team should know more soon, and for now Ernest is on some medications to reduce discomfort and manage his symptoms.

Ernest is estimated to be 8 years old and weighs around 26 pounds—the perfect couch companion! Adopt Ernest!

To meet him, visit Animal Haven during our adoption hours: 1–7pm Tuesday through Friday, and 12–4pm on Sunday. 💜

Please enjoy each puppy equally… 😌

Earlier this week, we introduced you to Harmony...now meet her puppies!

Like their namesakes from Severance, these puppies are learning what their outies like. Mark’s outie loves belly rubs. Helly’s is kinda obsessed with squeaky toys. Dylan’s outie is a big fan of peanut butter. Irving can’t believe how much his outie loves chew toys. And Lorne? His outie just wants a nap!

The Severance pups are 2 months old and should grow to be medium sized. (Momma Harmony is 39lbs, and we don’t know anything about dad!) We’re hoping these little ones take after their mom, because Harmony is an absolute sweetheart. 🥰

These pups are blank slates who will need your help learning everything from potty training to obedience. Are you ready for the adventures of puppyhood? Adopt one of the Severance puppies! Meet them at Animal Haven during our adoption hours: 1–7pm Tuesday through Friday and 12–4pm on Sunday. 💜

💔 Harmony has endured more than any dog should.

She arrived at Animal Haven with her five nursing puppies, her body showing heartbreaking signs of a long and difficult past. A full veterinary workup revealed that she’s battling one of the most severe cases of heartworm we’ve ever seen.

Her heartworm diagnosis led to an even more shocking discovery. 💔 When x-rays were taken of Harmony’s heart, they found multiple BB pellets embedded in her chest and neck. We can’t imagine what led to this horrifying situation, but it is Harmony’s reality: she was treated with cruelty instead of the compassion every dog deserves.

Harmony’s story is sadly not uncommon for many dogs in rural parts of the country. Found as strays in Louisiana, this little family likely went without basic care for a long time. Despite all of this, Harmony is the sweetest and most loving momma. Her tail rarely stops wagging and she always greets us with a smile and soft eyes.

Harmony is resilient. But she can’t heal alone.❤️‍🩹

Our Recovery Road Fund gives dogs like Harmony an opportunity for a life she would not have had by providing life-saving medical treatment, shelter, nutrition, and love. Your support makes rewriting her story possible.

💜 Donate directly through this post or through the link in our bio.

Harmony is just 3 years old and up for adoption, even while she undergoes her heartworm treatment. Her entire treatment will be covered by Animal Haven through our Recovery Road Fund so that her adopters can focus on giving her all the love she deserves while she recovers. We’ll walk potential adopters through everything - she just needs a home! If you can't adopt, please donate to her care or share her story.

Not only is Mordecai adopted, but he’s heckin’ STYLISH 🤩

Mordecai was rescued from a home that had become overwhelmed when their unaltered dogs had back-to-back litters. Tiny Mordecai had never left the home in his short life, and was understandably shy about the great big world he had stepped into! Luckily, this adorable puppy found a home not long after arriving at Animal Haven, and is now totally beloved by his new mom! 🐶🥰

We’re happy to share that all the dogs and puppies we took in from this home have been adopted. 💜

Third time’s a charm for sweet little Hadley! 🐶

Hadley was surrendered to Animal Haven last summer. It was no surprise when she was quickly adopted, but sadly Hadley struggled with separation anxiety, and the adopters didn’t feel they were the best home for this sweet girl. Our policy is to always take our animals back—and knew that the right home was out there for Hadley. 🏡

It wasn’t long before her new family met and fell in love with her. They recently shared this amazing update with us: “We adopted Hadley (we renamed her Dizzy) about 6 months ago and wanted to say that she’s thriving!! It really only took her a few weeks to show us her true personality and feel comfortable in her new home. Now she’s traveled across the country, goes on walks in Central Park, and loves snuggles. We are endlessly grateful for Animal Haven for bringing us together with our soul dog. She is so loved!!” 🥹🐾
