Ridgway Animal Haven

On October 16, 2017, Ridgway Animal Haven was established in response to the demand for a location where stray, abused, and neglected animals in our community might be brought. I proposed fixing their holding pen to the Ridgway Borough Counsel along with other board members. When the animals were prepared to be adopted, the proposition asked whether we could fix their holding pen and arrange adoptions. The Ridgway Animal Haven board and I made the decision to start our own rescue because we were only permitted a 48-hour holding period. We were ultimately able to raise enough money to construct our own building, despite the lengthy procedure and significant community funding requirements.
