A Legacy of Compassion
💖 The Heart Behind Haven Paws
Haven Paws was founded by Madison—a woman with an unshakable commitment to second chances and the belief that every dog deserves a safe place to land.
Her inspiration came from her Nana, whose love for animals lit the spark that became this rescue.
Though her Nana now watches from above, her legacy lives on in every wagging tail, every gentle hand extended to a scared pup, and every family that finds their missing piece through adoption.
Haven Paws isn’t just a rescue—it’s a promise to lead with heart, to honor that legacy, and to never give up on the dogs who need us most.
