THE HAVEN LOVE IN ACTION ONLINE AUCTION -- PLEASE DONATE ITEMS AND EXPERIENCES!

Calling all makers, doers, dreamers, creators, fixers, bakers, growers, adventurers, and wonderfully generous humans!

Haven's Love in Action Online Auction, November 6–16, is coming together, and we're inviting you to help make it something extraordinary.

At Haven, we believe that the strongest communities are built through connection.

It's neighbors helping neighbors.
Sharing what we have.
Creating opportunities for one another.
Exploring beautiful and unique things
Coming together around something bigger than ourselves.

This is at the heart of the work we do at Haven to help island pets and the people who love them -- and it is also the foundation of our auction.

Some auctions focus on high-ticket, fancy offerings.

While we WELCOME those things and enthusiastically invite donations of artwork, vacation stays, travel experiences, and beautiful items, we are equally excited by things that carry a story, a personal touch, a way to care for someone ... a pathway to connect.

A homemade dinner.
A handcrafted item,
A guided adventure.
A lesson.
A behind-the-scenes experience.
A service.
A gathering.
Something fun and unique. Something you create.

Collectively, these things reflect the generosity, creativity, and spirit of this community.

So think big. Think small. Think wonderfully weird. Think practical. Think about what you love to do, what you do well, or what you could offer… And then jump in.

Help us build an auction that reflects what makes this community so remarkable … not simply what we own, but what we're willing to give, create, and share with one another.

Our digital form for donating items or experiences is at www.havenrescue.org/auctiondonation

It is super simple … just add the info, upload some photos and submit.

We are also happy to input information directly if that is easier.

THRILLED TO SHARE THAT AFTER 11 DAYS ON THE RUN, BEAR, THE CHOW PUP, IS SAFE! WHOO-HOO!!!

A little background on Bear and his big scary adventure.

Bear is a very shy, undersocialized six-month-old Chow pup who escaped from his new home on the island just one day after being adopted.

Dogs like Bear go into survival mode in situations like this. Fear takes over, and even friendly people can send them running. So when we learned he'd escaped, Haven's missing-pet recovery team jumped into action.

We sent community alerts, connected with his owner and neighbors, followed the trail of infrequent sightings, helped set up a camera, and then placed a humane dog trap.

And last night he went in.

Eleven long days of worry, watching, waiting, and hoping. And one very good morning full of relief.

A huge thank you to everyone in our island community who kept an eye out, shared sightings, and partnered with us to bring this boy to safety.

Welcome back, Bear!

Say Hello to Lillie.

Lillie is just shy of a year old, a big doodle girl, and currently operating under the firm belief that every new person she meets has been waiting all day specifically for Lillie to arrive.

She LOVES people.
She loves other dogs.
She loves food.
She loves life with the volume turned all the way up.

Sometimes all that love arrives at once, in a big jump.

Lillie is still a bit in her puppy-wild-child era. Meeting someone new can involve a fair amount of enthusiasm, some questionable decisions about personal space, and a body that has not yet received the memo that it is no longer puppy size.

But underneath the exuberance is a really remarkable dog.

She is smart and learns quickly. She is incredibly food-motivated, which makes it much easier to help her learn that good manners are an excellent life choice.

What Lillie needs now is a forever home with someone who has and Patience. Someone willing to teach the dog she is becoming instead of expecting her to already be there.

Because this girl has all the raw material.

She is social. Funny. Loving. Curious. Ridiculously happy to be included.

Give Lillie some guidance, consistency and room to grow up, and we think you'll end up with the kind of dog people spend the rest of their lives talking about.

EXTREMELY URGENT. MISSING DOG – WE NEED SIGHTINGS, LIKELY CAMP SEALTH TO BATES ROAD AREA.

PHOTO IS DECEIVING -- HE IS A SMALLER 30-POUND DOG.

A few days ago, we sent out a community alert about Bear, a six-month-old pup who ran off from a foster home after an off-island rescue placed him there. This happened on Sunday. There was one sighting at a nearby property north of Camp Sealth that afternoon, and again Tuesday morning at the same spot. And nothing since.

We believe he is likely in the large, forested area running north and south of Camp Sealth—roughly from 280th on the south to Bates Road on the north, and from Wax Orchard Road west to the beach.

Team Haven is working to bring him to safety, but we need sightings.

If you live in this area or pass through, please be on the lookout and if you see anything that might point to him being around, call or text us at (206)876-9652
