Thanks to our community we were able to give $1488 to this local nonprofit.<\/p>\n<p>The Sanctuary at Haafsville is a safe haven for homeless cats and dogs.\u201d In their first 11 years, they&#8217;ve saved over 10,000 animals and placed them in loving &#8220;furever&#8221; homes! In 2020, they placed almost 1,300 animals.\u00a0 They adhere to a No-Kill animal welfare philosophy which means they do not euthanize animals to create space.\u00a0 They partner with shelters that are overcrowded, they work with 14 Lehigh County and 1 Berks County municipalities to take in stray dogs and cats, rescue dogs and cats from natural disasters, accept dogs and cats from owners who need to relinquish them, and work to place animals into loving homes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107765\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-1-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-1-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-1-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sanctuary at Haafsville volunteers and Western Lehigh Chamber board members pose with a few furry friends to celebrate the community\u2019s donation of $1488.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107766\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-6.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture-6.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sanctuary accepts donations (i.e. food, towels, blankets and much more) that help their resident animals maintain a healthy and comfortable life while living at the Sanctuary.
