About Us
Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary (SHAS) is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 1996, and is the largest and longest-running no-kill facility of its kind in the Las Cruces, NM area. SHAS provides medical care, food, shelter and comfort to up to 90 homeless cats and dogs of our community, while seeking caring forever homes for them. As a private organization, we do not receive any local, state or federal funding. We earn or raise 100% of our annual operating budget. All cats and dogs arriving at the sanctuary receive any needed medical care, are spayed/neutered, receive required vaccinations and are microchipped. Our pets are not denied any necessary medical treatment. At Safe Haven, we believe that all animals deserve to live life with love, care and respect.
