Since we last checked in with Haven Humane Society, they've opened up the spacious new Anne Morgan Adoption Center, which is, says rescue coordinator Spenser Curran, a night-and-day improvement over the old facility that housed the Redding area's homeless animals. Prospective adopters love the spacious, welcoming environment; the cats now have their own kitty condo, and the dogs really appreciate the heated floors (hey, it gets cold at night up there!).
Besides offering spay/neuter services to the community, part of Haven Humane's work is providing medical care to the animals who land in the shelter. Like Jasper here, who was hit by a car and arrived with three broken ribs and other life-threatening injuries. No one thought he would make it, including the vet who worked so hard to save him; she now says it was only the happy young hound's will to live that pulled him through.
