Houndhaven, Inc. announced today it has been named a “2019 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits.

Houndhaven rescues dogs and puppies from life-threatening circumstances restores them to health and places them in loving homes.  Houndhaven has saved 99 dogs so far this year and nearly 1,500 since its inception in December 2000.  It is one of the very few shelters in Florida that operates entirely on donations, grants and volunteers. (See www.houndhaven.org for more details).

“We are honored to be named a 2019 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says Linda Coletta, President and Founder of Houndhaven. “We are happy and grateful to be able to help deserving dogs get a second chance at a good life.  Some of them have significant medical needs, and we are so glad to be able to help them, thanks to our donors and volunteers.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that Houndhaven received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients.  Here’s an example of the reviews for Houndhaven:  “We absolutely love Houndhaven! My husband and I found the perfect dog for our new family. It is clear that the goal of Houndhaven is to find the right family for each dog, not just to adopt dogs out to anyone. We love their mission and how much they do for these dogs! They treat them like family and then treat the new families like family!”
