Welcome to the Haven

Making  fairy tails happen one dog at a time!                                                                                                                                                                    A 501c3 non-profit organization :92-2009803

Meet the founders- Stephen and Monika Howard

Howard's Hound Haven was a dream of Monika's. As an avid animal  lover and advocate, her dream was to help dogs  get a second chance and not be needlessly euthanized at our local shelters due to overcrowding or being misunderstood.  

Although we both work full time in K-12 education, every day you will find us feeding, watering, and playing with the Haven pittie crew. Farm chores for the other rescued animals, including sheep, goats, chickens, geese and ducks keep us young.
