Welcome to Hope Haven!

Hello 2025!!

HOPE HAVEN IS REBUILDING AFTER THE STORM!

We were excited to welcome you back for our 2025 season on May first - But Mother Nature had other plans. On April 30th, a powerful storm tore through the Sanctuary, causing devastating damage. We lost so many trees, some with entire root balls ripped from the ground. Fencing was torn apart, animal sheds were destroyed, and our beloved farmhouse suffered significant damage.

Since then, we've been working nonstop to restore safety and stability to our property. Our first priority, as always, is the well-being of the animals. Until their home is fully secure and functional again, we need to keep our gates closed a little longer.

We are now aiming to officially reopen on June 1st for our Wildflower Garden Party event, and will resume weekly tours shortly thereafter. The full tour schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.

Thank you so much for your patience, support, and understanding as we recover and rebuild. To welcome you back to Hope Haven soon!

Much love and hugs,

Karen and the Haven animals

Hope Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit farm animal sanctuary nestled in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. Our mission is to rescue neglected pigs, goats, sheep, llama, donkey, alpaca, emu, and all farm birds. These animals have been surrendered at local animal shelters, confiscated by local humane agents and police, or saved from factory farms. They now live out their lives with comfortable housing, nutritious food, and companionship from others of their own kind. They also receive endless love and affection from the human components of the sanctuary!

Learn About Us

Hope Haven is also a resource to raise public awareness about the plight of animals raised for human use. Here at the farm we promote a cruelty-free, plant-based lifestyle. Rather than focusing on the horrors and cruelty inherent in factory farming we want to showcase the individuality and personality of farm animals. Our hope is that when people realize these animals are sentient beings deserving of compassion they will make up their own minds to respect life and adopt a cruelty-free lifestyle.
