Calling All Party Animals!

Host an unforgettable birthday party for your party animals where the birthday child and their guests will experience a guided tour of our shelter, do an animal-themed craft and activity, and more!

Celebrate at Our Place

SafeHaven is a fantastic option for you and the party animal(s) in your life. We are pleased to offer parties for kids 5 years through 15 years old.

What Birthday Parties Include:

  • Private use of the Education room.
  • At least one dedicated staff member to facilitate shelter provided activities, answer questions, and help as needed.
  • Basic Decorations: plastic table covers, four balloons, personalized door sign, birthday banner, and assorted wall decorations.
  • 15 minutes before the designated party time for setup. You are welcome to bring decorations in addition to/or instead of what is provided. Unfortunately, we cannot put tacks or nails in the walls and do not allow piñatas. No discounts are given if you bring your own decoration items. You are responsible for bringing food, drinks, and any items needed for food and drinks.
  • Table for food and food related items
  • Table for gifts
  • Tables and chairs for up to 11 kids (standard package) or 15 kids (extended package), and additional chairs for other guests/adults, not to total more than 25 “party people” in the room without prior approval.
  • Use of certain toys/items in the education room during the party: books, puzzles, games, paper, coloring books, coloring items (pencils, markers, crayons).
  • A game for up to 11 kids (standard package) or 15 kids (extended package). Game options will be presented to you at time of booking.
  • A craft for up to 11 kids (standard package) or 15 kids (extended package). Craft options will be presented to you at time of booking.
  • Shelter tour and animal introductions (meeting an animal) as available. The animal residents at the shelter change frequently so the amount/types of animals that parties will be introduced to varies. We will do our best to see that there is at least one cat and one dog introduction done per party unless otherwise requested.
  • Goodie bags for up to 11 kids (standard package) or 15 kids (extended package). Estimated value of each goodie bag is $5. Items will vary.
  • Opportunity for the birthday kiddo to name a future SafeHaven animal.
